I was invited to a potential symposium in a big conference in my field in Portugal this year.
I live in Scotland, technically not that far away really, but I would have had to do something like 7 changes and dozens of hours to do the trip by train, and at a huge cost. I do not fly because flying destroys the planet, so I had to pass out on the conference opportunity.
To be fair, this is also a problem with the conference itself, which does not allow hybrid talks... IMO all the conferences should be online or at least hybrid until we've fixed the problem of saving our planet.

@elduvelle @albertcardona @jonmsterling Have you considered to set a sail on a small boat? :))
