Those that know me personally are surely thinking what did I get myself into now? This of course, was not started by me, I can assure you of that. Muslim culture is known to be very conservative and any public displays of affection are strictly prohibited. Male & Female contact should be kept to a […]
Hindu Temple in Paramaribo, Suriname
There aren’t just Hindu temples in Paramaribo, Suriname, there is an entire slew of cultures that come together in the country.

Penguin Fight at Cuverville Island, Antarctica
The penguins at Cuverville Island, Antarctica aren’t an aggressive bunch, the problem is that there is little real estate for each penguin family to have a nest. I loved to watch the penguins try to walk through the entire penguin colony at Cuverville Island because it was similar to playing Frogger. Each penguin had to […]
A Church In Harar, Ethiopia
This is one of the first scenes that I saw in Harar. The city is extremely small but there is something very special about the city. Harar is the 4th holiest city for Muslims and ironically, just like Jerusalem, it is in a country with a different religious majority (Christian in Ethiopia). The city is […]

In the present day, Somaliland resembles most Muslim countries; men have the latest beard fashion designs, women enjoy being covered head to toe in clothing […]

Just outside the foothills of Eilat, Israel, there is a magical desert waiting to be explored. You can actually go from beach front property into a protected area where you can’t hear a sound for miles.

Beautiful Countryside of Kigali, Rwanda
The countryside of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, absolutely blew me off of my feet. I must have told my no homo motorcycle taxi driver to stop not 1 million times, 2 million times. The lush green mountainsides remind me of Medellin while the country had a feeling of Germany, in Africa. I will explain, in another […]
