It really felt like we were being smuggled into a country territory that is deeply misunderstood by the entire world. We left Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, at a shockingly good time (at 5.28, roughly 2 minutes before we had to leave at 5.30). What was even funnier is the advertisement on the bus […]
Confessions Of A Sleepless African Safari
The day turned out great after we spent our first day on Safari. I was able to see The Big 5 after it was all over but there is one night that sticks out in my mind like it was yesterday. It wasn’t when our car broke down and we arrived late or even when […]
Apartment Hunting in South America: Wimdu Review
I don’t think that I could ever get enough of South America. Being born and (partially) raised on the continent, it feels like home to me. Every time I hear the different accents and interact with the people I feel like I was a kid again. With good reason, I will be returning to make […]
The Big Tsingy Stone Forest: Madagascar
The Stone Forest in Madagascar is what I came to see in Madagascar. Ever since I saw a picture of the Stone Forest on the National Geographic website I instantly looked at ways to get there. Once I arrived in
How to Prepare For Kidnapping in Somalia-land
I admit it, I’m crazy for wanting to visit Somaliland. Many people told me I was crazy when I wanted not only visit Colombia, but live in one of the cultures that has fascinated me for decades. While the dangers in Colombia weren’t what most people were expecting: I don’t anticipate the dangers in Somalia […]
Salar De Tara: Atacama Desert, Chile
The Atacama Desert is such a unique place in the world. To actually think that I didn’t know much about the desert until I started living in Chile is beyond me. This picture is of the Salar de Tara (Tara Salt Flat) in the Atacama Desert. The tour has to be done by 4×4 and […]
Things I didn’t like about Traveling To Israel
My trip to Israel was nothing short of amazing and the one reason that I was invited to the country was to experience it. The only thing that was asked of me by the Once In The Lifetime 2.0 Crew was that I talk about my experience in the country. They didn’t ask to talk […]
Twinkie & Pretzel Bus Ride: Zambia
It was 2pm when I arrived at the bus station in the capital of Lusaka after I started my journey at 11pm the night before. My flight with Ethiopia airlines left Nairobi at 3.30am and I arrived in Lusaka, Zambia at around 11am where I would have to catch the bus. The bus that people […]
Sunset in Reykjavik, Iceland
This sunset in Iceland is one of the first pictures that I took when I arrived in Reykjavik. First say Reykjavik three times, now try again. I couldn’t pronounce, nor spell, Iceland’s capital city when I first arrived if my life depended on it. One of the things that was very unusual about my visit […]
The Maasai in Kenya
I found the Maasai in Kenya to be an extremely interesting people. They have a slew of rituals and practices that would be completely foreign to any tourist (one of the reasons they are so popular). One of the things that I found fascinating was that some of the Maasai’s attend university in Nairobi. Instead […]
