EXTRAS

Places I've been

Not everything has to ship. Some trips just reset your head. These are the ones that did, with photos where I have them.

Ladakh

32°54′N 78°18′E
  1. Leh
  2. Nubra
  3. Pangong
  4. Hanle
  5. Tso Moriri

Eight nights on the roof of the world. Fly into Leh, let your lungs catch up, then go: over the passes to Nubra, along Pangong, out to the dark skies of Hanle, and finally Tso Moriri — a lake at roughly 4,500 m that doesn't look real even while you're standing at it.

Up there, nothing loads. No feeds, no Slack, barely any signal. Just stone cairns people leave behind, light that changes every ten minutes, and a camera that never left my hands.

Thailand

13°45′N 100°30′E
  1. Phuket
  2. Krabi
  3. Bangkok
  4. Pattaya

Twelve days, four stops, one shot list. Seafood markets and longtail boats around Phuket, turquoise water off Krabi's Hong Islands, Bangkok from the top of the Golden Mount, and the carved wooden Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya.

One of us shot it like a film, the other did it on a backpacker's budget. Both approaches worked. The 7-Eleven snack hauls were non-negotiable.
