Hello, Bases & Flyers!

I’m going solo dolo again, writing this from a 12 hour bus into Uzbekistan, where it’ll apparently be over 40°C.

After seeing hail four times in June in Kyrgyzstan, I’m not sure if this is a respite or just another form of torture I’ll regret…starting mmh tomorrow.

This week’s edition is the June full events roundup which includes the absolutely enormous summer acro calendar (mostly for the Europeans).

So expect in today’s issue:

  • ✈️ Plan Ahead: July - August all events by region

  • 🌍 Beyond Acro: Cultural Festivals to Catch in August

  • 🧳 My Favorite Travel Tools
