He paid $5000 and spent 28 hours...
Some people might think it is crazy, but i will say that it is...
I heard something recently and as suprised as I was, I told myself "I no fit try this one oh".
I wanted to share the story with you so you will find out for yourself if you can or not.
In 2015, an American by the name of Peter Shankman purchased a $5,000 business class ticket for a return flight to Tokyo from his home in New Jersey.
A few days later, Peter headed to the airport.
At check-in he was asked the usual questions about whether he had any luggage and whether he’d packed it himself.
But Peter Shankman had no luggage.
Apart from the clothes he stood up in, all he had with him was his ticket, his laptop and his mobile phone.
After clearing security, Peter headed to the gate where he boarded the 14-hour flight to Tokyo.
The flight was uneventful with no turbulence, no delays, and no near-death experiences.
And yet, when they touched down in Tokyo, Peter felt an immense sense of relief.
After disembarking and stretching his legs for a few minutes, Peter then got back on the same plane and flew straight back to the USA.
So why did he do it?
Was it because he was the pilot?
No!
For starters, if Peter were the pilot he’d have had to rest for a while before flying again.
And not even Ryanair makes the pilot buy his own $5,000 ticket before flying!
Nor was Peter making this trip to collect something he left something behind in Tokyo on a previous visit. After all, there are much cheaper ways of getting reunited with your lost property.
I’ll save you trying to guess…..
The reason Peter Shankman spent $5,000 and 28 hours flying to and from Tokyo in one hit was because he had a book to write.
And, as someone with ADHD, he knew that the only way he could get that book finished was if he put himself in an environment where there were no distractions.
No phone calls.
No WiFi.
Just him and a laptop for the 14 hours it took him to fly to Tokyo.
So why am I telling you this story?
