Hello, Bases & Flyers!

I finally put a deposit down on an apartment today. I cannot wait to stop living out of a backpack for 6 weeks…although to be fair, right now I’m living downstairs from some of my best friends, and just opening the door and seeing them every day has been kind of perfect.

Below is everything acro happening over the next two months, organized by continent so you can plan without scrolling.

So expect in today’s issue:

  • 🎁 Giveaway: 100$ towards your next acro event

  • ✈️ Plan Ahead: April - May all events by region

  • 🌍 Beyond Acro: Cultural Festivals to Catch in April/May

  • 🧳 My Favorite Travel Tools

🎁 Win $100 Off Your Next Acro Event

Also…last week, I told you I had something coming.

To celebrate hitting 1,000 of you here!! — I’m running a giveaway:

🫶 Help Grow the Acro Crew + Your Next Festival Might Be $100 Cheaper

Here’s how it works:

  • Refer an acro friend to Acro Insiders. (Use your unique referral link below so I can track it back to you.)

  • Each referral = 1 entry

  • More acro friends = more chances

All you need to do to claim the prize is show proof you’ve booked an acro event festival, retreat, intensive, whatever you’re heading to next.

Runs for 10 days — until April 10, 11:59 PM (UTC+7)

I’d love to get more acroyogis into this little corner of the internet, so send it to your training partners and your festival crew.

Let’s grow this thing!

Adventures led by women designed to make a difference.

Trek the Andes with an all-female crew in Peru. Join a women-run tuk tuk tour in Cambodia. Enjoy a traditional hot stone bath experience at a women-owned farmhouse in Bhutan. Intrepid’s new small-group Women’s Expeditions in Peru, Cambodia and Bhutan provide immersive local experiences for travellers while supporting women-run businesses.

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.
