I'm a 24 year old Native Texan living a long time dream working for an airline and jet setting ... when there's space available. I spend my spare time learning airport codes, planning my next trip, and being a cineophile. I collect carry on bags, "do not disturb" signs, travel journals I never write in, and postcards from friends and strangers. I love turbulence on airplanes and getting my passport stamped. My flight memory.

I'm not a flight attendant or anything "cool". I work at headquarters. I write about my life, traveling as a non-rev, and Ron Paul. I used to make entries public, but not anymore. Maybe one day soon though.

In transit. If two sweeter words exist in the English language, I have yet to hear them. Suspended between coming and going, neither here not there, my mind slows, and amid the duty-free shops and PA announcements, I achieve something approaching calm. I've often fantasized about living in Airport World. Not one airport, mind you, like the Tom Hanks character in that movie, but a series of airports. I would just keep flying around the world, in a state of suspended aviation. Always coming, never arriving.
