I’m so excited to have been asked about my favorite countries from BuzzFeed and Bring Me! It was definitely tough, but here goes!

Ramblin’ on the Rock: My Day in Gibraltar.

Gibraltar was clean, organized, and welcoming; the architecture was neat and of course that giant rock–the centerpiece of it all–was just stunning. I wonder if the residents there just get used to it. Hard to imagine. The Morning After A few remaining Spanish jóvenes still donning their tuxes and party dresses were scattered throughout the…

Ceuta by Sundown

…the finest Spanish wines, plates of fresh olives just fallen from the tree, accordion players, and beautiful women teaching me the native dances of Ceuta.

My Visit and Visa from the Consulate General of Bangladesh – Los Angeles

I’ve enjoyed it dozens of places, and it’s never disappointe. And it’s always been pretty consistent. Except today. Today was the…

One Night in Niger

Welcome to Niger Niger was at the tail end of this three-week, sixteen-country African expedition. You could say it was the last country in Africa-Africa; it was my last stop before heading north to Morocco, where I’d ferry across the Straight of Gibraltar to catch my flight home from Madrid. It had been an amazing…

Let’s Go to Cotonou! 24 Hours in Benin

The energy here made the hair on my arms stand up. Cotonou’s vibe had quickly pierced my soul and was flowing through my blood. I don’t know why I felt so good, but the sudden rush took over my whole body and pulsated through my veins as I let the crowd carry me into the…
