Walking Duty-Free
「One trip, half the office's shopping list lives on my back」
Before takeoff the friends-and-coworkers shopping list pours in. Duty-free and drugstores are pilgrimage sites, overweight luggage is the default. Less travel, more contracted shopping service — but somehow you love it.
🪞 The real you
One trip abroad and half the office's shopping list is on you. Colleagues', family's, friends' proxy-buy lists stuff your suitcase over the weight limit. Half your itinerary is shopping, half is 'finding that thing so-and-so asked for.'
✨ Your travel superpower
You're the team's most-needed person, so well-liked the lists never stop. Spending time and effort to bring back others' stuff — that generosity and reliability means everyone remembers your kindness.
⚠️ Your travel blind spot
Half your trip is held hostage by other people's lists. Carrying proxy-buy missions, you shop where you don't want to and your play time gets squeezed. Learn to say 'not this time' — that's how the holiday becomes yours.
👯 What your travel buddies know
People watch you haul an overweight bag around drugstores and feel a little bad. Reminder: you're here on holiday, not to fulfil orders.
