About Christina's Layover List

IMG_6733_edited.jpg

Hi, I’m the flight attendant behind The Layover List! I’ve always loved exploring new places, but being a flight attendant has given me a pretty unique way to do it. Between flights, I’m usually looking for a good local restaurant, a cute coffee shop, something fun to do, or a hidden gem that makes a short layover feel a little more special. I started The Layover List as a way to keep track of the places I’ve loved, the spots my fellow crew members have recommended, and all the places I’m hoping to check out someday. Think of it as my personal collection of “I only have 24 hours here — where should I go?” recommendations.
