Hello, Bases & Flyers!

Today, I went to visit an acro friend’s farm and was greeted immediately by a bee sting, followed by (not-that)hard labor, and a homemade pizza night. Anywho, I’m officially reconsidering this whole “living in civilization” thing.

In today’s Festivals edition, I’m trying something new. I’ve expanded the timeline to about three months, so you have more room to plan and coordinate travel.

If this feels like a good amount of lead time, reply “Timeline” to this email. If you want more (or less), tell me — this list is built to be useful, not overwhelming.

So expect in today’s issue:

🌐 FEATURED FESTIVAL OF THE WEEK

📍 Dutch AcroYoga Festival Spring | Goirle, Netherlands | Apr 24 – May 1

An 8-day acro binge with 400m² of tatami, extra halls, longes, and the option to jam all night. It’s truly all-levels: beginner workshops every round while advanced folks get fed with top-tier tricks from a stacked international lineup.

You’ll be fueled with 3 meals a day plus Dutch snacks, then recover in a jacuzzi + wood-fired sauna so you can actually train again tomorrow. If you want one spring festival for a real skill upgrade, this is the one to lock in early.

 🎉 COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

🧳 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.

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

Next week: Related Fests where acro spills into circus, flow, dance, and movement culture.

Until then, fly elegantly and land somewhere gracefully (mostly) gracefully.
