replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A2 I prefer to have a professional driver like @Blacklane but sometimes that can be pricey. So, then I prefer to drive since I don’t trust all @Uber drivers. #TravelSkills

A2. As a flight attendant, I prefer driving over flying. I prefer anything that doesn’t remind me of work. UNLESS I’m going to Europe. This reminds me of one of my favorite books by Paul Theroux: The Old Patagonian Express #TravelSkills
