Welp, agreed to give a 30 minute talk in Stuttgart next month. That’s 1200km away. Only viable option is to fly (hint: the North Sea is in the way—the ferry is expensive AF, and the fastest rail route is over 12 hours and involves 2 changes). Even flying, I need extra days for travel. And 1-3 days to prepare the talk. (I'm out of practice).
So: a 30 minute talk costs me approximately five days.
(I'm doing this one because there are side-errands en route. Otherwise, it's not worth it.)
