Before I ever traveled, I made myself a promise: I would visit Thailand before I turned 30. I ended up breaking that promise… but even if I’m a few years late, I finally did it! Thailand is the first Asian country I’ve ever visited, and I have to say it’s every bit as amazing as I hoped it would be. The food, the people, the lifestyle… all truly incredible. I have fallen in love.

Sometimes you just need a little push to go after what you want. One day, while @travis_trips and I were talking on the phone, something clicked. I bought a ticket on the spot, packed up my paramotor, and headed out to scout for my new expedition, “Flying Noodle 2026”. This upcoming year is shaping up to be a busy one. I’m excited and nervous for the goals I have…

I spent 30 days in Thailand, but honestly, more than half of that time I was fighting off and on sickness. Whenever I wasn’t sick, the wind decided not to cooperate. Between the weather and the time lost recovering, I got far less scouting and flying done than I’d hoped. Luckily, on one of the final days, everything lined up and I managed to get a paragliding flight in on an island just off the coast.

I have made the decision to leave my gear behind in Thailand. Partly out of practicality, partly as a promise to myself. Now I have to return. The goal is to spend two full months exploring and flying as much of Thailand as possible, moving from north to south, chasing good weather and good vibes.
