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.

Camping on the beach in #Syria was also NOT on my 2026 bingo card, but I couldn’t be more grateful that it happened… especially with all of these beautiful humans brought together by @nickmaddockglobal 💚🇸🇾⛺️

Zip lining over a river valley in #Syria was NOT on my 2026 bingo card, yet here we are! Btw, a real engineer in our group interrogated them about the construction and safety of their installations and they passed. 👍🏻✅ Thanks for looking out for us @reemarkable1 ❤️!!

The National Library of #Syria branch in #Aleppo allowed us to visit the normally off-limits storerooms of their old books collection, and what an incredible step back in time this was!!! Medieval Arabic poetry, centuries-old medical texts, very un-PC social commentaries, maps with countries that no longer exist, etc etc. It was a history-lover’s paradise, and such a special privilege. 📖🇸🇾💚

Waking up to snow-capped mountains in May??? Is all of #Kazakhstan this stunning or am I just getting very lucky in #Almaty this week?

I normally upload with a delay, but today I HAVE to share in real time the shocking destination I arrived to just today. I say “shocking” because I had absolutely NO IDEA that this country was SO gorgeous and modern and just breathtaking. In fact, I only even came here because I couldn’t get a lie-flat biz class seat back to Istanbul out of Ulaanbaatar today, but there was one available from here 2 days later, so I flew here this morning on what was essentially a 2-day layover in #Almaty. Now I’m realizing that I absolutely 1000% have GOT to come back to #Kazakhstan and explore more!!!!!! I am shooketh. 🇰🇿❤️🇰🇿✈️

A beautiful epic drone shot of me from Palmyra’s ancient theater in #Syria courtesy of Global Narratives. My friend @nickmaddockglobal is one of the only people - if not the only person - to receive permission from the new Syrian government to operate a drone and capture drone footage in the country, and his work is simply STUNNING!

There are over 700 “dead” ancient sites in #Syria that were abandoned in antiquity for one reason or another. Of all those, Serjilla is among the most incredible to explore.

Found an unexpected dance party and picnic going on in a village that had been abandoned for over 1000 years. Serjlla in northwestern #Syria is an incredibly well-preserved village that had been founded around 470 AD and abandoned a few hundred years later when merchant routes changed.

The greatest of all Roman ruins left standing? Idk

The greatest of all Roman ruins left standing? Idk but is there any other that’s this massive and well preserved anywhere in the world? #Syria has it. #travel
