Hello, Bases & Flyers!
Hello from Laos! I’m about to go on a different kind of aerial adventure, hot air balloons and paramotoring over limestone cliffs and rice fields. Not quite standing acro…but still getting lifted.
Which feels fitting, because this week is our February Related Fests Edition —with the gatherings that orbit our acro world like flow arts, conscious fests, and other aerial sports of the sort.
So expect in today’s issue:
🗓️ All Events Coming Up Soon (Feb 24 – March 23)

🌍 BEYOND ACRO: Cultural Festivals to Catch in April
Songkran | Thailand | April 13–15
Thailand’s New Year celebration and the world’s biggest water fight. Entire cities turn into joyful chaos with street-wide water battles, temple visits, and ritual cleansing ceremonies.
Tamil New Year / Vishu | Tamil Nadu, India & Kerala, India | April 14
A vibrant South Indian New Year marked by temple visits, floral decorations, traditional feasts, and symbolic “first sights” to set the tone for the year ahead.
Feria de Abril (Seville Fair) | Seville, Spain | April 21–26
Flamenco dresses, horse-drawn carriages, late-night dancing, and endless casetas (private party tents). If you’re already heading to Spain for spring acro conventions, this is an unforgettable cultural side quest.
🧳 TRAVEL ESSENTIALS — What I Actually Use
I get asked a lot what I pack, book, and use on the road. Here’s the shortlist all tested over years going around the globe.
Booking.com – My default for hotels and guesthouses worldwide.
Agoda – Especially good for Asia deals.
Discovercars.com – Best rental car aggregator.
Skyscanner – Still the fastest way I find cheap multi-leg flights.
Travel Insurance via SafetyWing – Month-to-month coverage for when plans change last-minute.
✈️ Want help planning a bigger trip?
I also offer custom itinerary planning, if you’re planning something epic, but don’t want the logistical overwhelm.
