Next Stop

⇥ Oct 18-21: New York City

Mostly here to eat, shop, get rejuvenated by the vibes, and catch up with people.

Under Consideration (2026)

I’ll pick one destination from each time block. Not planning to do all of them in a single go. I'm not that unhinged.

Early Jan (7 days)

⇥ Mexico

Just need any reason to get some sunshine and warm weather in Jan.

Feb/Mar (3 weeks)

⇥ Australia

⇥ New Zealand (South Island)

⇥ Argentina (Buenos Aires, Mendoza, ± Santiago)

Late May/Early June (3 weeks)

⇥ Iceland (± Lofoten Islands, Norway)

Absurd landscapes. Seems like another planet with road signs.

⇥ Croatia (± Montenegro)

⇥ Spain (Valencia, Madrid, San Sebastian, Mallorca)

I've been to Spain a few times (Barcelona, Seville, Granada) but there's still much to explore.

Late Aug/Early Sept (~10 days)

⇥ Azores or Madeira

⇥ Banff & Jasper

Oct/Nov (3 weeks)

⇥ Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, PCH (repeat)

Went 10 years ago, but still top of my list for a repeat. Want to finally catch peak fall foliage.

⇥ Argentina

Might sync with the Brazilian or Mexican F1 Grand Prix, both happen back-to-back in this window.

⇥ China (Hong-Kong, Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai)

⇥ Iceland (mid-Sept)

⇥ Japan (mid-Nov)

The only place where timing for both food and culture matters. If I can nail autumn colors, it’s a win. This would be my 3rd visit b/c I can't stay away from Japan for too long without triggering withdrawal symptoms.
