I miss Envision. I miss Costa Rica. Here is a little letter to all those who feel the same. I have a ticket for next year as well, and I expect that will continue.

29 is a bad birthday
A bit of a write up of a pretty difficult and memorable year. I’m blessed and happy to have what I have, but no lie, 28 was a challenge.
Climbing Cat Ba
Sorry I’ve been away long. Many hours spent settling into home, protesting, friends, and mostly code.
Cat Ba is special. I say that about a lot of places, but this one is solid top 3. Mostly for the friends. Here’s one to Alana and Kate, Xuan and Zee-oi. But it’s about rock climbing. No rope, over deep water. In Northern Vietnam. It’s a pretty rad time.
Much love family. See you in the next one.
Dali
In Old Town, at the Dali Lao Shay Youth Hostel, a collection of strangers make a home for a week. A blessed adventure.
Shanghai Noon
Or how a bunch of Ex-pats showed me the better side of Shanghai.
Bad Days, Go Away. Always Back Another Day
My friends have had some bad days recently, and I am no exception. Even as I continue my adventures around the world. This one is not chronological to the story of my travels, but I believe it is important to share now. Cheers you lovely humans.
Pai-holed and Tranquil
A random day from the most wonderful place in the planet, Pai, Thailand. I miss that town a lot, and I can’t wait to go back. My friends. I miss you. The adventure. The calm. The food. The people. What a slice of heaven on earth.
Dear Tony, Being Lucky
Not Getting Lucky. Well. Sort of. Well, not that lucky. Just. Just read the post. 14 hours in Macau
Princess Mononoke Forest
One of my highlight experiences of my trip so far, hiking Yakushima. This southern island is the inspiration for Princess Mononoke. I saw the oldest cedar tree in existence, 10,000 years old and definitely a god. Lots of waterfalls. We at the most outstanding local sushi, local venison, and grilled fish. Hot springs and car camping. Just a packed and outstanding day. Please read and enjoy the pictures!
Dear Tony 12: More Meals
Sorry I haven’t posted in a month! A few obstacles made it functionally impossible [Surface Charger broke and I needed a new one] Please enjoy this piece about my friends in Tsukuba and my friend in Maebashi!
Happy Birthday to me! It’s been a crazy hell of a year, and I take a little time to reflect, and mostly to look forward. Overall, I will say 26 was an exceptional year. But perhaps looking onward from 27 is a little more scary; even as I’m still in the midst of a fantastic adventure.
