I did a lot of this sort of traveling too: get there, catch your breath, do a job, then leave.
I'm way, way burned out on this kinda travel, so any time we go anywhere, we try to stay for at least a week (I think this will turn into 2 weeks if there is international travel). I'm completely with you: you need at least a day to recover, and I'd recommend at least two if you have the means/time.
Also, LOL @ SP to Rio being a day trip! That sounds horrible, but maybe that's because I still have a tiny bit of trauma from that bus ride.
The luxury of time, not being rushed, I will never tire of it!
Bus ride sounds more fun but I bet it wasn't. Coolest part of that day in Rio was being in Vale corp office looking down on the beach and Sugarloaf. Wish I could've been down there
I never visited Sugarloaf proper, although I walked around on Ipanema and Copacabana beaches a-plenty and got to see more than my share of that outline.
You need to start writing books. Why books, plural? I see a very world weary, tech savvy, Andrew-like character(definitely bald, it works!), optimistically pessimistic, in a good way, with so many adventures to share it would have to be a series. Probably should have a dash of governmental AI espionage as well. What's that you ask? You'll know when you start writing...
Always enjoy your sharing of observations, intelligence and rants. All with a sublime sense of crafty whimsy...
Despite the agony at the time, this brought much nostalgia of the joys and inevitable horrors of travelling. In my current situation any kind of travel involving wings and a cockpit seems far fetched and fanciful. Funny how the grass never fails to be greener. I don’t get any sleep anyway (due to the current situation) so I figure I might as well be in Bolivia. As a caveat, we’ve been doing a lot of local travel and it’s taught me about the quiet and less complicated wonder of being surprised by things that are geographically close to you.
Travel seems fancy and while the places you go may be lovely even in the fancy cabin I find it a grind now. I'm so with you on going local though, there is much to see without going far. Don't know your situation but hope you get some sleep!

Maybe some micro universes as well.
you so crazy! So far no fiction - perhaps just a touch of embellishing the truth 🫣
I have a lot of respect for fiction authors - that stuff is next level!
