The plan, 2026 to 2028

Six destinations, in the order I intend to reach them

Each of these has a full guide behind it: what I am going for, the realistic ways to get there, and an honest read on which months are worth the trip. The order matters. Two of them are deliberately paired so a single long-haul flight does more work.

2026

  • A dense high-rise skyline at night, towers lit by neon and the street below streaked with the light trails of moving traffic
