Adorable Gentoo penguins shuffling along their penguin highways. A pudgy baby elephant seal, poking around our emergency supplies. A massive humpback whale, popping up beside us to eye our zodiac. Luminous blue icebergs sculpted by nature to look like ice castles. And glaciers too big for my brain to actually comprehend their size. This is…
Jerusalem is one of the most fascinating cities I have ever been to. The mix of history and religion combined with a (surprisingly) cool nightlife scene and some great foodie spots made it fun to explore. I’ve been to Jerusalem many times so for those looking for any first time visitors looking for inspiration, here…
The land of Israel and Palestine is one of the most fascinating places in the world. From the rich history to the religious importance to Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike, stunning natural beauty, vibrant cities, and incredible food scene there is so much to see, learn and experience.

When people asked me why I chose to use Tel Aviv as a base for a few months I had several reasons. However, without a doubt, the food was one of them. This part of the world has some of the best, freshest, most delicious food I have ever had in my travels. From street-food…
Before I even start, I should probably tell you one teeny tiny very important thing. This is not a success story. This is a story of failure. Which is why I figured it would be a good article to write for any non-hikers like me who somehow find themselves on a bus at 3am barreling through…
