Fruit Cart in Chin China, Colombia
Chin China is a small town that we drove through in the coffee region and it was an extremely interesting place. Not only was I able to catch an iguana that was the size of my leg, we were the talk of the square since we started interviewing everyone in the center square. After a […]
Returning To Where I Was Kidnapped & Shot At: Venezuela
I have a fascination with traveling to dangerous places but it’s not because they’re dangerous, it’s because most people don’t travel there. Everyone travels to Europe and Paris, c’est la vie! I like visiting places that people don’t travel to and since the capital city of Caracas, and Venezuela, have turned into one of the […]
First Impressions of Ethiopia: Beyond Fascinating
I decided to visit Ethiopia not because I was interested in visiting the country, but because I wanted to visit every country in Eastern Africa.

Cheetah Side Profile: Zambia
The Cheetah, my favorite animal since I can remember. This was part of a few hour tour where I was able to walk Cheetahs and Lions. This little guy was my favorite since he kept insisting on licking me and cuddling. Cheetahs actually purr 10 times louder than cats and their tongues are extremely tough […]
The Cumbia Dancer: Carnival in Colombia
This young lady was kind enough to stare directly into my camera as she was walking in the parade for the Carnival in Colombia. This was during the last day of the event. Cumbia is a style of music in Colombia and it’s part of the country’s roots. It is a very romantic dance between […]
