I realize that Madagascar is in Africa but most people never consider visiting the country (definitely not Americans). I was intrigued by the country ever since I found out about the Tsingy stone forest. Once I arrived, I was completely caught off guard by the people and after a week & a half on the […]
A Lemur in Madagascar
This Lemur was found in the Tsingy National Forest in Madagascar. If you didn’t know this is where you can find the stone forest in Madagascar and if you drive from the city of Morondava you will be able to find the Avenue of the Baobabs as well. You can find the Lemurs in most […]
Petting & Walking With Cheetahs in Africa at Mukuni Big 5 Safaris
Petting a cheetah in Africa with Mukuni Big 5 Safaris is one of the most unique things that I have done in my travels around the world. I have had an affinity towards the majestic animal since I was young. It has always been a very unusual connection as I was always one of the […]
Tel Aviv: The New York Miami Beach of the Middle East
My trip to Israel wouldn’t have been the same if I didn’t experience one of the world’s renown cities for both nightlife and financial prowess. While Jerusalem may be the cultural & political center of Israel, Tel Aviv is the blood that feeds the veins of the country. TeI Aviv is nowhere near as large […]
Pousse-Pousse Drivers in Madagascar
The Pousse Pousse drivers in Madagascar are a whole different breed of people. These guys work extremely hard all day running around carrying people in their little carts similar to a tuk tuk (they call them pousse pousse in Madagascar). If you notice in the picture above you will see that some of the pousse […]
Gorgeous Coast in Eilat, Israel
We found this coast on a side trip while driving to the sushi restaurant that we were eating at. One of our Israeli friends (Ori) from the Once In A Lifetime Crew was driving us to the restaurant since I decided to break my toe on the boat the same day. I told them I […]
Taxi Traffic Jam: Israel
I only took this picture because I wanted a shot of the taxi sign which is a unique. I plan on doing a post of taxis from my travels around the world and this was going to be the picture for Israel. It turned out to be a great picture because of the traffic jam […]
Visiting Madagascar isn’t Africa, Its Asia!
I never did any type of research before I decided to visit Madagascar. There were only two things that I knew of and wanted to visit very badly, the stone forest in the Tsingy National Park and the Avenue of the Baobabs. It was very similar to the reasons why I wanted to visit Zambia, […]
Faces of Madagascar: The Fisherman
The people of Madagascar are very different. You will see how people of all walks of life have combined into one culture as you travel through different regions in Madagascar. What you see above is a typical fisherman which is also be a canoe driver (seems like everyone is a fisherman in Madagascar). They typically […]
I didn’t get robbed in Johannesburg!
I don’t think I have ever had as bad of a feeling about a city other than Johannesburg. I met a young South African woman that grew up in the city while we were partying at Carnival in Brazil and she said to me “you can’t grow up in Jo’burg without getting robbed or mugged”. […]
