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…

Kenya

Three trips to Kenya so far… First Trip to Kenya Well let’s see…in the last ten days I braved war-torn South Sudan, was hemmed up by crooked police in Burundi, got violently ill with food poisoning in Rwanda, and put in work on a mission trip in Uganda. It was finally time to chill, and…

Best Beach (Crowded)

  Recife, Brasil – Boa Viagem Beach This is more than your average “day at the beach.” This is an experience. More than just sun and sand, an afternoon at Praia de Boa Viagem is filled with a million different sights, sounds and smells. Perhaps it’s the roaming vendors that inject the most flavor into…
