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.

Another year, another review. Big gratitude for all of the parts of my life, including you if you have been here at all. Please enjoy looking back on the progress of making me!
Tower of Babel
Climbing the tower of the Church of Our Saviour in Copenhagen completed a sidequest bestowed upon me by my friends in Kalmar. The journey was well worth it, and I had some interesting interactions with multiple international tourists. The accumulation of events echoed ideas of the Tower of Babel in my mind.

Yellowstone crew! First COVID travel was very necessary and an absolute delight. The park is incredible at every moment and the people made it even better. Had a very good time. Shoutout Kreech and WHERE’S BAILEY?! for being the best.

Ultimately Utila
The last of the adventures, taking me from Utila to home. It’s a lot of sadness, but I couldn’t be more proud of the last few weeks before leaving. The island was filled with adventure and joyful souls. Come join for the last of the adventures. Not exactly what I wanted, but I will be back, one day soon, with more tales of travels and exploration. Cheers!
Dear Tony, A Touch of Mexico
Coming on the end of the travel blogs, and I’m floored by my blessings. Thank you for journeying with me and continue to enjoy my writings.
Finding Holbox
A gorgeous paradise exists in the northern Yucatan peninsula. A little hidden island is home to the most beautiful beaches, creatures, and people. Finding my way there is complete happenstance, but it’s so excellent I can’t wait to go back.
Hawk Attack
A small story and huge photo drop of motorbiking in Vietnam. It’s a classic Vietnam travel experience and for good reason. The ability to get that close to the country is unparalleled and thoroughly worth every minute, risks and all. Sorry for the huge delay. So many things piled up, but enjoy the video at the bottom for a collection of rides and friends.
Dear Tony, Sharing Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is possibly my favorite holiday, and I was blessed to bring it as a gift for a group of Vietnamese and Travelers that I am proud to call friends. Follow my adventure, about 9 months in the past, as I continue chasing Bourdain’s ghost and, hopefully honoring his legacy. Happy Belated Tony!
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.
The Hustle of Hanoi
Hanoi is a beautiful place. I run around, eating food, making and meeting friends, and seeing a new city. The people are ridiculously nice, from the boys in the public gym by the lake, to the hostel owners who invited me to lunch multiple times, to the Buddhism temple ceremony pictured.
Dali
In Old Town, at the Dali Lao Shay Youth Hostel, a collection of strangers make a home for a week. A blessed adventure.
Hong Kong is a Beautiful Bastard Child
I have a wonderful time for my first time in Hong Kong. In the midst of it’s civil unrest, I found a wealth of culture in many aspects. The multitude and magnitude of this unusual city make it’s one of my favorite destinations.
