I’m passionate about traveling to new places, meeting new people, finding new adventures all over the globe, and sharing the secrets of this wonderful life with as many people as possible. I like iced coffee, Disaronno on the rocks, and dance music with vocals, and I love my dog Ariel.

Only 5 tiny villages in the world still speak the language of Jesus… and 4 of them are in #Syria. Today I heard Aramaic for the first time in the village of #Maaloula and it was truly transcendent. Check it out…

Syria is surprising me more and more every day. We stopped for breakfast today at this amazingly unique restaurant just off the main road leaving #Tartus that I never would have known was even here and had the most wonderful breakfast of super fresh fruits and freshly baked bread and local Syrian delights. You keep surprising me #Syria and I’m loving it.

Soooo, I did a thing. ✈️ I’ve wanted to go to Syria for the past two decades, but I never thought I’d have the chance. Now, it’s a new day for Syria and I’m SO excited to explore this once closed off place. #syria

Daddy’s gotta work. 😜😜 At least he’s got a comfy ride for the crazy commute through central Cairo every day, though.

Just another day at the office. 🤷🏻‍♂️🛩️ (I actually had a biz meeting here today… My life is crazy, but I definitely can’t complain.)

One of my top happy places - Istanbul, Türkiye. 🇹🇷 My best descriptor for this city is “a chic Bohemian paradise” and I keep finding myself here unexpectedly. Kinda thinking of getting another place here in the not-too-distant future. 😏 Am I crazy?
