You Ate What?

I’ve eaten some pretty weird stuff over all my years of traveling, with the attitude, when in Rome! Hey, you only live once, right? Here are six of the most bizarre things I’ve ever put in my belly!   What I ate: Dog soup! Location: Kaesong, North Korea. What it Tasted Like: Very, soft and…

Palestine

This article is part two of my Israel–Palestine trip. Please make sure to read the Israel chapter HERE first, they should be read in order to get the full story. Palestine was part of a last minute, whirlwind, weekend trip; literally planned the day-of. As I admitted in my Israel article, I was pretty ignorant…

Israel

I book most of my international trips 9-10 months out. I usually start mentally planning them over a year out. This was not the case this weekend. Israel was a last minute trip. I mean last, last, last, laaaaaaast-minute trip. I decided pretty much the day-of. I was in London on a Thursday night looking…

Poland

Never in my life have I booked a trip and traveled this quickly. The boss gave us all an extra day off to “relax,” since everyone at the company had been working serious overtime; like burnout-level hours. We were all wiped out. So at our department head meeting, Gregg went around the table and demanded…

Cambodia

If I’m lucky, on my trips that include visits to multiple new countries—almost all my trips—one of the countries I’m least excited to see will pleasantly surprise me and exceed all my expectations of it. Such was the case with Cambodia. I didn’t study or research Cambodia at all. I was too excited for Thailand,…

Malaysia

I couldn’t believe how many women were in hijabs as I made my way through Kuala Lumpur’s Central (train) Station. As soon as I found wifi, I Googled Malaysia, to discover, to my surprise, the population was over 60% Sunni Muslim. I found that odd for an Asian country—this was the first Muslim country in…

Thailand

I don’t know why I took so long to visit Thailand; maybe it’s because I was hung up on Brasil for nearly two decades. But it’s probably a good thing. Me in my 20s, in Thailand? That would’ve been dangerous. There are too many ways a young man can get in trouble here…for cheap! I…

United Arab Emirates

The UAE was actually the first country that really intrigued me, way back when. I remember clearly: eighth grade, social studies, lights off, as we watched a VHS tape on the big box TV strapped to a cart. The documentary highlighted the country; mysterious back then, certainly not today. I don’t know what it was…
