I'm happy to return to the comment section here and see I'm not alone in my frustration over the author seeming to take pride in this crazy amount of air miles. Until that chart I really enjoyed scrolling through the page, seeing all the time and obsession the author put into this.

Why get frustrated over something like this? You’re seeing one data point on how the author lives their life. I see these kinds of comments more and more and can’t understand the need to judge someone else, without full information, based on your own personal standards.

You're right, there could be many reasons. But given the time we live in know it seems like something you don't want to wear with pride or without a disclaimer.

It's a fine balance between caring about stuff and wanting to raise awareness while also seeing other human beings for who they are, assuming good intent.

Going through his blog, it appears the man is a digital nomad (and a minimalist in theory — he only owns two suitcases of stuff — which is important considering he's likely a wealthy person), and lives the life he loves; give him a break.

Btw, he isn't traveling just for the sake of traveling — he has conferences around the world, and he's a European working in USA which means he probably flies back and forth from his home country a lot more than an average American. (Doesn't help that North America is far away from everywhere else).

For what it's worth, he makes an attempt to schedule all his conferences such that he wouldn't have to keep flying to/from North America in between conferences.

Felix Krause, keep doing whatever it is that you do and enjoy your life.
