Think you know the biggest danger of an expedition? Think again. Explorer Levison Wood breaks down why motorized transport is the real risk, not the wild.

Three years ago I finished walking across Nepal.
Next month I start talking about it.
I still can't quite believe the response to the book and the events.
Thank you.

Houston Intercontinental Airport is the Bermuda Triangle of U.S. airports. The weather is always bad and you can get stuck there forever.

For 114 days, my tent was home.
It gave me the freedom to stop wherever I found a view like this.

I just spent 10 days in France. The weirdest thing upon returning to the U.S. was the cap on my soda screwing all the way off.
Can any dev tell me why Claude Code estimates weeks to build a complex feature that we actually finish to perfection in hours? Do they estimate in old skool dev hours?
Good thing “Working Wisdom” never caught on as the alternate moniker for “Artificial Intelligence” or we’d all be fumbling through our days saying “WW” a million times. (Probably shorten to “dub-dub”). 🤪

MESSAGE
I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.
Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.
An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.
I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

Mini and Raksha are the best! Such impressive guys!
What an honor and a wonderful experience it was for me to be able to trek with @JohnnyFennPhoto for just a week of this adventure! I will never forget that feeling of likely being the first non Nepali some of these kids had ever seen! Wonderful photos from an amazing adventure.
In very remote villages, everyone noticed.
Children hid.
Adults watched quietly from fields and doorways — amazed, curious, smiling.
For many, it was the first time they had seen a non‑Nepali in their village.
114 days. West to east. No map.

Clearly very early in the trek because your beard is still quite tame!
Right at the start.
No meat. No alcohol. Just simple food and moving on.
I had no idea then I’d lose 17 kg (about 2.7 stone) — or that I had that much to lose.
From the early days of a 114‑day walk across Nepal, west to east, no map.

That’s quite a grand Nepalese house!
Houses in the far west of northern Nepal were built differently; heavier, more enclosed, shaped by terrain and weather.
Life going on.

My good friend @JohnnyFennPhoto once again illustrates that light is the most important element of a great photo! Can’t wait to see more from the trek!
First portrait of the walk.
Near the Indian border at Jhulaghat, Baitadi district — an old man keeping warm by the fire.
This was the start of a west‑to‑east crossing of Nepal: 114 days, nearly 1,500 miles, no map.

And that’s NOT pass interference on the last play of Miami v Ole Miss? Honestly, I don’t care who wins but that sure looked like PI to me.
