Welcome to the Iguazu Falls in Argentina! Many people don’t realize the size of the Iguazu Falls until they actually see the entire park. What you are looking at above is a picture from the lower trail on the Argentina side of the falls. This is also where you are able to access the boat […]
Gondar: The Camelot of Ethiopia
Welcome to Gondar, the Camelot of Ethiopia. This real life Camelot is from the Ethiopian dynasty that ruled the region in the 17th and 18th centuries. While Ethiopians proclaim that Lalibela is the 2nd Jerusalem of the world, Gondar is the center of Orthodox Christianity. The castle complex is extremely interesting and they had lion cages and […]
The Dead Sea Mud: Israel
The mud bath at the Dead Sea in Israel was something I was not leaving without. If you ask the entire Once In Lifetime Crew I was the last person on the bus because I had to walk the entire coast and search for the mud so I could see what kind of magical properties it […]

This white Lemur we found playing with his friends when we stopped our canoe trip to swim in a local pool. We were in the southwest region of Madagascar on our way to the Tsingy Stone Forest. The lemurs are really fun to watch since they are both intrigued and afraid of people at the same […]
Island at Tayrona National Park: Colombia
Tayrona National Park is something else to behold, it’s the Colombian Caribbean (outside the island of San Andres) and its exclusivity makes it both charming and a pain in the but to get to. Once you walk a few hours and arrive at many of the locations along the coast, the heat exhaustion will certainly […]
Beach Picture Frame: Anakao, Madagascar
Anakao, Madagascar is one very unique place. The picture above was taken from the 3rd story of a building owned by the scuba diving company in the region. I was able to get my advanced scuba diving certificate since Anakao has a very extensive coral reef in the region (Anakao is one the best places […]
