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 […]

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, […]
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”. […]
Curse You Central Africa!
Curse you Zambia! After my trip to Israel I really thought I had my life figured out for a few days; live in Colombia for a few months, live in Israel for a few months, and go travel somewhere new for a few months. Traveling to Zambia made me realize again how traveling around the […]
The Zambezi Hustle: Zambia
With no awkward hesitation the man says “Hello” and I of course reply back with “what are you selling?” I have been jaded by life in Kenya where everyone wants to sell you something “for a really good price”. He ignores my reply and says “where are you from my friend” and instead of getting […]
The Kibbutz Experience: Israel
Shabat Shalom said the man. I was still trying to learn other Hebrew words in Israel to expand my complicated language skills, I was already starting to mix Swahili with Hebrew. We were headed to a Kibbutz to have dinner during Shabat which is the Jewish version of Sunday. Normally, only members of the Kibbutz eat […]
I’m a Jollyboy in Zambia!
The Zambian people don’t stop their hospitality at random conversations on street corners and in front of the entrance of the Victoria Falls. Not even the lime transporting truck driver that was from Congo could resist being hospitable once he crossed the Zimbambwe border into Zambia (he gave us a ride into the city). Google […]
The Western Wall in Jerusalem
The Western Wall in Jerusalem is one of the oldest and significant things that you can find in the world today. There aren’t many things in the world that have so much history and mean so much to so many people. Walking to the Western Wall was a very surreal experience and it felt a bit […]
No Homo: Colombian Style
This obscene gestures you will see in the pictures below are something that is very common around the world. In the United States however, you will never catch a man caressing another man on a motorcycle. For my older viewers, no homo refers to a joke that young men say in the United States when […]
Exploring the Religions of Israel: The Druze
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 […]
