Airports can be terribly boring places – especially if you get delayed. To alleviate the monotony once I’ve made a full circuit of all the duty free stores I like to play a little game of ‘guess who’ with myself. All you need to do is pick out as many different travelling types as you can amongst your fellow passengers and create yourself a back story to go along with it… here are a few examples: Surf dude.
