I traveled for 117 days in 2025 - 47 days exploring the world solo and 31 days on business trips. Thailand was once again my most visited destination. I also traveled to Switzerland, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, China, India, and the Philippines. What’s coming up in 2026?

The beauty of making imperfect things. A great 7-minute-long film by Jake Frew.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Year in Review 2025, Part 22: Today is the last day of 2025! We are looking back to my last trip to India. What a busy, but also great time. It was the first of probably many trips to India. I added two destinations to my bucket list for holidays: Ellora Caves & Himachal Pradesh

After 36 years in Bangkok, I’ve decided to jot down some of the experiences I’ve had around SE Asia during some tumultuous times. Starting an ad agency, opening a nightclub, traveling the region. 7 chapters so far. Give it a read if you have some weekend down time: open.substack.com/pub/qbarandrew

This trip had it all: We rode the famous train from Kandy to Ella, went on safaris, zip-lined, relaxed on Mirissa's stunning beaches, hiked the Knuckles Mountains, and explored the historic Galle Fort. Here is the itinerary for 14 days in Sri Lanka.
