What's behind your AFF user name?

Years ago, I got sick of friends telling me I travelled too much, so on my next couple of trips I didn’t tell anyone but my parents (who were staying with me at the time) that I was going OS. My parents told a friend that I’d “gone to get milk” when she dropped in unannounced, which puzzled her because I don’t drink milk. As an avid social media user, it was kind of liberating to travel and not feel the need to post pics of my travels online. Around that time I joined AFF and “stealth flyer” seemed an appropriate name given my recent secret adventures. As for the profile pic… on the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.
 
Paging @Durian to the courtesy phone!
I'm one of the few Aussies who enjoy the taste and smell of this thorny tropical fruit.
I have enjoyed it in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia (the best.. who agrees?) , Philippines and even Australian durian from Cape Trib QLD. Highlight was visiting a durian buffet, all you can eat durian and mangosteen.
Second highlight was taking the Skytrain in Bangkok with some fresh ripened pungent durian in my backpack. The smell wafted through the whole carriage. But, no one suspected it was me (the Westerner tourist).
