Plane tales — Bored with frequent flying, Eva Liparova decided to engage fellow passengers and collect their secrets. “It was quite funny because it took me about four hours to be brave and gather the courage to walk to the first person!” she says.Eventually, Liparova handed a simple, brown notebook and a pen to a woman in the front economy seat. Before long, stories began to fill its pages.“There was a guy flying to San Francisco to ask his girlfriend to marry him,” Liparova says. “And then you got this chain of cheering in the following stories. It was strange how quickly you can establish a sense of friendship and community.”In total, 33 people contributed stories of honeymoons, babies, and a marriage proposal among the tales that emerged.“I am traveling to San Francisco en route to New Zealand,” wrote the woman in seat 62G, Flossie Williamson. “The reason for my trip, which I have now done twice in a month, is because when I visited last time I fell in love. All very cheesy, but I am moving to start my life with a very funny Kiwi.”Flossie Williamson felt the notebook was a perfect way to record her mission of love. “I felt a bit of a dork when I wrote it because at the time I was sat looking smug, nervous, and grinning from ear to ear,” she added.Liparova encouraged passengers to ask each other questions. One person in seat 42C wrote: “It would be to liberate people’s consciousness by simply looking at them. … Humanity would awaken from the deep slumber of Samsara.”
