Peter’s Year in Review 2022
Happy holidays (here’s a 1-minute holiday message I made from China)!
As we ring in the new year, it is a good time to reflect on the previous 12 months. With that in mind, here’s my 2022 year in review.
January
I started the year in Cleveland, Ohio. Lots of doctor appts and stress as I tried to get back to Thailand in the face of Covid restrictions and a freak snow storm. Watch the video.
February
A beach quarantine in Phuket started my time in Thailand, then I settled into Bangkok life after having been away for six months.
March
In March, I attended my first Thai music concert. Many other Thai concerts followed. Watch the video.
April
April brought a book launch and the Songkran holiday. Watch the video.
May & June
Normal life. Coaching, friends, and a Thai music festival. Watch the video.
July
After nearly 1000 days, in July I finally got Covid. A pack of eggs was the culprit, and my sense of smell never fully returned. Watch the video.
August & September
I lost my long-time assistant in August. Routine life also began sunsetting as I planned for my next destination: Africa. Watch the video.
October
Before leaving for Africa, I got a bunch of dental work done. I also ALMOST rented a 4.5-floor shophouse in Bangkok. But no time.
November
My favorite month of the year. I explored Ethiopia, then headed to the capital of Kenya. Read more.
December
Life in Nairobi, Kenya. Rented an office, went on safari, adopted (sponsored) a young girl, and met many new friends. I’m here until mid-January. Read more.
