Jan - Oklahoma
We start the year with everyone home - making this an excellent start to the year.

Feb - Berlin
We head back to Sin City, doing a few months as Creative Director (again) for BRLO...

... spending a lad's weeeknd in Poland - where we explore old Templar churches while filming for the Holy Grail show...

... over to Portugal to do the same (filming) ...

... finishing the month with a long weekend in Barcelona.

Feb - Istanbul
Back to Aric's favorite city in the world.


Mar, Apr & May - Nepal
To the Himalayas, where we successfully summit Everest Base Camp, and then grab an old motorcycle and head up into Mustang.

June - Sri Lanka
After recording a batch of, ahem, those men's health videos, we fly down to Colombo, somehow pass the tuk-tuk driving test, and spend a month exploring the gorgeous island.

July - Thailand
First time back after being locked-down here for 8 months back in 2020 and straight to our favorite streetfood chef, La (who still keeps a photo of us). We then grab the bicycle and begin exploring - making our way through the Issan region of Thailand with our friend Nadda, and crossing over into...

... the dreamy, sleepy and friendly land of Laos...

... and into Northern Vietnam - falling hopelessy in love with Hanoi, where we spend a wonderful three weeks...

Aug - South (and quickly) North Korea
A few days in Seoul, up north for a quick peek at the Hermit Kingdom...

... and down the famous Four Rivers Trail, allllll the way down to the coast.

Sept - Jeju
A beautiful month spent cycling the island of Jeju - and meeting up with our friend Naan.

Oct, Nov and Dec - Japan
An incredible, wonderful, mind-blowing time cycling from Hokkaido down to Osaka.
