Hello, Bases & Flyers!

I’m officially leaving Da Nang after what somehow turned into one of my favorite chapters yet. I’m pretty sad to go, honestly.

And while life’s in motion, so is AcroInsiders.

The brand-new site layout is officially out and about, making it way easier to browse upcoming events and search by region. It’s cleaner, faster, and just infinitely better. So another giant shoutout to Rene for making it all happen!

And reply to this email if you have any feedbackor improvements you’d like to see done.

And now, this week is the May Fests edition, the “how are there this many festivals happening at once?” edition.

So expect in today’s issue:

  • 🗓️ All Events Coming Up in the Next Two Weeks

  • ✈️ Plan Ahead: Festival Listings through October

  • 🌍 Beyond Acro: Cultural Festivals to Catch

🧳 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.

✈️ 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.

Some links are affiliate — they help keep Acro Insiders running at no extra cost to you.
