A very big year of some very big adventures:
Oklahoma
Japan
Sri Lanka
Nepal
Mexico
Oklahoma
Mexico
Ireland
France
Morocco
Germany
Austria
Oklahoma
Texas

Jan - Oklahoma
The year begins, as we like it to do, at Mum and Dad's in Tulsa.

Feb - Japan + Sri Lanka
We head back to Tokyo for a quick four-day stop...

... then head down to Sri Lanka where my tuk-tuk driver's license is still valid...

... and pick up one of my favorite people, Olivia, for two weeks of wedding parties and a sc around the island.

Mar - Nepal/Everest Base Camp + Mexico
A successful third summit, as well as (hopefully) having shot enough footage to produce the pilot/spec of Snickers for Sherpas.

We fly from Nepal to Mexico City — a town I immediately fall in love with — and then spend a few more weeks in Oaxaca.

April - Oklahoma
A gorgeous spring spent with these two back home.

May - Oklahoma
A failed attempt at moving back to the US - something I'll try to find a way of writing about someday. But not today.

June - Mexico City + Ireland
A quick 5-day break down in CDMX (quickly becoming a Top Five city for me), then onto...

... a plane with a bike and bags for an adventure I previously thought to be too old for...

... arriving in Donegal, to my friend Ciaràn's beautiful Sliabg Liag Camping - where I planned to spend the summer in my tent, mowing the lawn in exchange for free accommodation.

July - Ireland
More Donegal (the best part of Ireland, IMO)...

And Ciaràn builds me a hiking hut, so I don't have to live in a tent.
