A Pilot's Life on the Road Navigating Fatigue and Meeting Friendly People Around the World

Trevor Perry is a pilot who also enjoys traveling. He has a unique schedule that allows him to take long periods of time off work and travel the world.

He has been doing this for 8 years and during that time he has gone on a trip every month. He had the opportunity to go to some unique locations and experience off-grid adventures.

For example, while on a layover in Costa Rica, he went surfing till sunset but got lost and had to swim through crocodile-infested waters to get to his hotel on time.

Trevor and Perye were discussing the fatigue that pilots can experience while flying, especially during long and red-eye flights.

Trevor explains that despite having regulations regarding duty and flight times, fatigue is still a common issue in the aviation industry.

However, all commercial airliners have at least two pilots and on ultra long-haul flights, they even have augmented crews with additional pilots who take turns flying the plane to minimize the impact of fatigue.

People are friendly in many places but it depends on the region.

In Kurdistan, people are incredibly friendly and would invite travelers into their homes for tea and bread. In Somaliland, people are also friendly and show a genuine interest in talking to travelers.

However, in some regions, there could be situations where one may feel uncomfortable but those are rare instances. Overall, people are open to meeting and talking to travelers.
