Why flip flops are an essential item for remote workers and travellers.
Video Transcript
this is a nice simple one here let's
talk about
flip-flop this is a new series i'm going
to do every wednesday where i talk about
an essential item that you need for
traveling
and the reason i want to start with the
flip-flop is because
they're so small so useful so cheap
and yet i see a lot of people not
traveling with them they're like oh i
need to get some flip-flops
what do you mean you need to get some
every shop you see on this road sells
them
and yeah this is kind of a a shallow
topic like super obvious that flip-flops
are essential
uh
but there's like three pretty important
reasons why you'd actually want them
especially if you're staying in a
hostel let's start with a joke though
what does a man with two left feet wear
flip flips
okay let's carry on now we've got that
out of the way
not wearing flip-flops in the shower at
a hostel is gross
how many people have used that and it
doesn't matter how clean
the hostel owner keeps the shower how
many people are using the shower on a
daily basis
if you don't wear your flip-flops in the
shower
you're standing in all of that you might
get stuff like verucas or whatever
it's dirty
who knows what people have been doing in
the shower
and then you walk back to your room
across other floors which hundreds of
people have been walking on
so you need to wear something in the
shower you need to wear flip-flops in
the shower
reason number two they're so small they
fit in your bag
with no worries
you can slot them in the side even if
you've got a laptop bag you can slot
them in there
reason number three they're cheap some
of them they're one pound in the
decathlon here in turkey i bought these
flip-flops for one pound
reason number four they are available
literally everywhere i've never been to
a place and not seen flip-flops offered
the only negative that i can find is
that stubbing your toe in flip-flops
increases the chance of just ripping the
end of your toe off
and that's the only disadvantage i can
find with flip-flops
there you go a tribute to flip-flops
i'm gonna make an essential item video
like this every wednesday next week
it'll probably be less
less in-name than just flip-flops
i'll be talking about things like vpns
um padlocks etc
i also written a guide for remote
working
if you want it you can find it in the
description below
it just talks about what you need to
look for in a remote job and a couple of
places where you can actually go and
find one
and a bit of the philosophy around why
you'd actually want to do this
see you next time
