One creator traveled from New York City to Jamaica for just eight hours before returning home the same night.
Kevin Drewniak, 28, left the city at 5:45 a.m. and landed in Kingston before 10 a.m., giving him just a few hours to explore before returning, SWNS reported.
He planned the trip around what he considered essential to the island.
“When I think of Jamaica, I think of the food and of course the beach,” Droniak told SWNS.
His goal was to get to the beach before he had to return to the airport.
After arriving on the island, he followed a recommendation from a local resident.
“My Uber driver suggested this waterfall and it was the highlight of my day,” he said. “It was great, there was no one else there.”
He later grabbed chickens before heading to Bob Marley Beach, where he spent the rest of the afternoon by the water.
With such a tight schedule, he said he has learned to be less concerned with the small details while traveling.
“I’m used to showing up with sand in my socks on the plane,” he said.
The return flight left Kingston at 6:30 pm and landed at JFK Airport around 10:30 pm, allowing him to return home the same night.
The entire trip cost $382, including flights, food and transportation.
The Jamaica visit is one of about 30 quick trips Droniak has taken from New York, SWNS reported.
He completed similar same-day journeys to Ireland, Japan and France, pushing the limits of how far a traveler could travel in a single day.
He said his most memorable experience was a one-day safari in Kenya.
“It was a 14-hour flight from New York, and I went on safari for the day, which was a dream,” he said.
Droniak traces his travel style back to a semester abroad in London, where he realized how quickly he could move between countries.
