The Asia leg of my 2024 conference tour consisted of a talk and sprint at PyCon Taiwan in Kaohsiung City along with a talk at PyCon Japan in Tokyo.

Over the span of 23 days, I circumnavigated the globe, stepped foot on every hemisphere, and visited three new countries (bringing my total up to 43).

EuroPython 2024 was a conference of firsts for me: my first time presenting my new workshop on pre-commit hooks and my first time organizing a development sprint.
