QUESTION 23 OF 28

If you had a long layover in an unfamiliar place, what would you do with your time?

One of the perks of the job is seeing new places all over the world. How would you take advantage of this benefit? When answering this question, be mindful of the expectations you'd be held to, such as no alcohol or substances within a certain timeframe prior to working. It's great to demonstrate your interest in maximizing your layovers, just be sure it doesn't appear to be at the expense of performing your job at the end of the layover. Keep it professional!

"My favorite way to discover a new place is on foot. I like to let my feet and spontaneity guide the way, so I'll just start walking and see where it takes me. I'd follow yummy smells and try local cuisine, I'd follow soothing sounds and take a river walk, and I'd follow anything eye-catching, like a string of shops or art galleries. By the end of my walks, I am usually ready to take a nice deep rest to gear up for the next leg of the trip."
