The Druze is the second religion that I encountered that I had no idea existed on my trip to Israel. I connected immediately with the Bahai Faith but the Druze religion has a few aspects that I found complex and rather unusual. We were able to spend an evening in a typical Druze village and restaurant […]
The Western Wall: Jerusalem
Seeing the western wall for the first time makes you feel a bit funny. This is the holiest place on Earth for Christians and Jews and in just a 5 minute walk you will find the third holiest place for Muslims. There are constant excavations going on roughly 20 feet underneath the floor that you […]
The Kibbutz Sunset: Israel
We were able to spend a full day in a Kibbutz while on my trip to Israel. They took us to a typical Kibbutz where we were able to join the members for typical Saturday night meal. If you didn’t know Saturdays for Jews is a day of rest called Shabbas (pronounced Shabbat). During Shabbas, everyone eats at […]
Taking Travel For Granted
They say that travel is the best teacher, I really can’t describe how my perceptions and thoughts have changed while I have been traveling around the world during the last year. I was born in a third world country, raised in a 1st world country, spoke 3 different languages at the age of 20, and […]
Conquering Eastern Africa (Madagascar & Vic Falls Too!)
The time has come to explore all of Eastern Africa. So far I have only explored Nairobi, considering that I have been officially living in Kenya for about 2 months and my South Sudan Visa is going to take longer than expected, I decided start my journey at the Victoria Falls. The main reason is […]
How Traveling is Breaking My Heart
Traveling around the world sucks, literally I can’t even begin to organize all of the thoughts, pictures, people, weird things I have put in my mouth, and unique things that I have experienced within just the last 6 months let alone the last year. This site was only meant to be a traffic generator for […]
Traveling to Israel is like Colombia, Sababa Parce!
I didn’t know that two countries that were so different could have so many similarities. Both countries happen to be bordered by 5 countries and have a great coastline. While I didn’t get to explore the coastline in Israel, be aware that the Colombian Coast is the land of hustlers. It isn’t so much the […]
Exploring the Religions in Israel: The Bahai Faith
There were some very exciting things that I did on my trip to Israel like doing back flips into the Jordan River and scuba dive with Dolphins. There was also very interesting aspects of religions and culture that we were able to learn about. Two of those religions that I learned about most people haven’t […]
The Bahai Gardens in Haifa, Israel
This was another surprise for me while on my trip to Israel. Before I ever arrived in Israel I only thought that there Muslims, Christians, and Jews living in Israel. Turns out Israel is the center of another very fast growing religion called The Bahai Faith. The Bahai Gardens is the most holy site for […]
Dinner & Sunset at the Sea of Galilee: Israel
Seeing the Sea of Galilee for the first time was very powerful. It seems like anytime you turn the corner in Israel there is another piece of important history. The first view was high on the mountain during the day. After taking pictures we proceeded to the Syrian border and then made chocolate before we started […]
