That Time I Hurled Myself Into Israel’s Largest Crater
“This isn’t a crater. It’s a makhtesh .” It sure looked like a crater to me, at least as I’m standing at the top of Mount Negev, peaking over a 45-foot (14-meter) cliff ledge. That I’ll be descending into. Backward with a rope (hopefully) ensuring I don’t fall to my death. This should be fun.…Read more...
Eilat’s Treehouse Spa At Dolphin Reef Is A Hidden Gem In Israel
My first thoughts of Eilat are that it looks like your typical seaside city, shop and restaurant-filled beachfront promenades, big brand resorts, and sidewalks filled with tanned smiling tourists. After being in Jerusalem, I feel like I’ve gone from the US to Israel back to the US, and I’m not sure how I feel about…Read more...

Soon, though, the sharks are gone, and…Read more...
Paragliding In Medellin (aka That Time I Hurled Myself Off A Cliff In Colombia)

Photo Journal: Beautiful Beaches In Colombia’s Tayrona National Park
This photo was taken at Cabo San Lucas in Tayrona National Park, Colombia. Camping on the beach here was one of my absolute favorite experiences, for many different reasons. Not only did I enjoy jungle hikes, Caribbean Sea swimming and visiting a native village — this part was home to the indigenous Tayrona people before…Read more...
Colombia Travel: Exploring Bogota By Bike
Traveling through Cartagena and Medellin, I was told by locals and other travelers that while Bogota had a lot of culture, it was also a place you needed to watch your back. As I only had one full day in the city and wanted to make the most of it — but also wanted to…Read more...
