BEHIND THE SCENES

Transporting equipment is a big part of my job.

I think I know every airline requirement for luggage by heart now.

BEHIND THE SCENES

iPhone - We travel around 200 days a year. Here, I was trying to get to Frankfurt during a winter storm to meet Marco on our way to Beirut. I ended up getting stranded at JFK for 36 hours, finally arriving in Germany with a lost piece of luggage.
