Rest of Itinerary Sorted!

Oof. 25,954 miles of air travel left in this trip. When I land back in DC on June 3 I will have traveled a total of 36,053 miles via air and landed in 12 countries (mostly for layovers) on four continents.

Here’s the final plan:

3/23 to 4/14: India, Rickshaw Run + Misc Chillin’

4/15 to 4/28: Back to Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket for two more weeks of training, hopefully with my elbow fully healed.

4/29 to 5/3: Flying into Brussels, renting a car, and heading up to Amsterdam. Why fly into Brussels? I want to stop by the Westvleteren Brewery and pick up a case of Westvletern 12, supposedly the best trappist ale in the world and effectively only available directly from the monastery. Then it’s drive up to Amsterdam and hang out for Queen’s Day.

5/4 to 6/2: In to Kathmandu, Nepal. From here it’s probably off to Pokhara to hit the Annapurna Circuit (AC) trek and possibly sneak in the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) treks as well if I have enough time. ~25 days of trekking through the Himalayas by myself = win.

6/2 to 6/3: Flight back home! Just in time to chill out for a day then head out to Assateague for the weekend. Excellent.

Ah cool, Annapurna. That's been on my wish list for a while.

Tiger Muay Thai – Full Review

After spending six weeks training and living at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand, I wanted to write up some of my thoughts on the entire experience, the gym, and the trainers. This will be a long winded post with a lot of detail – I encourage anyone considering spending time in Thailand training Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and/or Muay Thai give it a read, but anyone else may want to skip it. Background: I visited Tiger Muay Thai (TMT) from February 22 to March 23, then returned again from April 15 to April 28, 2010. I had no previous MMA or Muay Thai experience, though I did grow up wrestling. I came into my visit with above-average fitness but definitely not close to elite level. The Gym Facilities: TMT is amazing, and they finished a big expansion while I was there. There is TONS of room, with seven+ massive separate training areas of various sizes, tailored for MMA, Muay Thai, weight lifting, and crossfit style workouts (kettlebells/etc.). ...

It’s Not Too Hard

On April 9, 2008, my life was irrevocably changed. Every risk I’ve taken in the last two years has been a direct result of almost a single moment in time. I remember looking at one of my best friends, Brad, and saying “I am going to quit my job and travel the world.” To hear Brad describe this moment is somewhat shocking, because he could see in my eyes how real this was, and he knew it would happen. It started out, as it always does, with a small risk. Brad wanted to do European Delivery on a new BMW and spend a couple weeks driving around Europe – for me to join him would require taking the longest amount of consecutive vacation from a job I had ever taken in my life, an entire two weeks . Our trip would end in Amsterdam, where some of the guys on my team worked, so I was able to justify it by finishing up with a week working out of our Amsterdam office. Brad’s brother Adam joined us for what would turn out to be a whirlwind tour across most of Western Europe and a defining experien...
