So I’ve been doing this World Race thing for about 7 months now, so I suppose I understand a bit about what it’s like to be on the field. I’ve been keeping a running list of signs that you might just be a World Racer after all. Below are my top 11 [almost completely true] examples:
- You use the term “luxury” to describe a squatty-potty that includes a splash-guard.
- Febreeze becomes your body-spray of choice.
- You see a heavy downpour as a good opportunity for a shower.
- You wake up and legitimately forget what country you’re in.
- Normal conversation tends to revolve around the regularity of your bowel movements.
- You consider it “splurging” to spend $4 on one meal.
- You’re on hour 8 of a “4-hour bus ride” and have no idea when you’ll be done.
- A “lawn mower” refers to a man in a field with a machete.
- You know that doing laundry takes at least an hour and counts as your workout for the day.
- You loosen your Chaco straps every time you fly because you’re all-too-familiar with your inevitable sausage feet.
- You get excited when the airline provides earplugs, eye masks, and socks on your overnight flight, because… free stuff.
And the cheesy bonus: You fall more and more in love with Jesus every day.
