There are many feelings felt when boarding a plane. Some cheerful, some sad, but what can unite everybody when adjusting to their temporary voyage through the sky is the common airplane ritual. By this I mean the practices that make the flight more stimulating and beneficial to our health while being unable to do anything outside of the lines of our designated seat.

I’m a person who lives a very active lifestyle, and sitting down for anything longer than two hours initiates feelings of anxiousness. So, to relieve this feeling, I have a special ritual I practice to stimulate my mind and also make my flight way more enjoyable. I always carry a digital camera on me when heading on a trip, so nonetheless, while I’m high in the sky I utilize the restroom to take pictures.
