The Globetrotting Diaries: Floating on the Dead Sea in Israel

In 2012, I had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Israel. One of the do-not-miss things in this beautiful country is to visit, and float in, the Dead Sea. Because of where it is located in the country, the tours usually start early leaving Jerusalem. The first stop is to the fortress of Masada and […]

Traditional Seder Recipe: Matzo Balls

I’ve had the distinct privilege of being invited to a few Seders over the years, the Jewish practice, where multiple generations of a family gather to celebrate Passover. Many customary prayers are conducted, songs sung, and stories are told while specific food is served with deeply significant meaning. During this pandemic, the opportunity to gather […]

Exploring Great Religions on World Travel

Religion offers a reason to travel across the world. And I’m not just talking about pilgrimage, whether the Hajj, which requires Muslims to make a trip to Mecca at least once in their lifetime, or the hiking trails along the Camino de Santiago in Western Spain, one of the most significant pilgrimages in Christianity. I […]

Jerusalem: Your Cultural Getaway for 2019

Many international travellers think of Israel as a nation of spiritual sights, where the histories of the world’s three great monotheistic religions come together to create a cultural landscape like no other. Diverse, spiritual, and always controversial, Israel travel offers a visit that believers and non-believers alike will never forget. Still, art and creativity are […]

I had just […]
