My Most Memorable Experiences
Okavango Delta
Quite possibly the most exhilarating destination for game viewing, walking safaris will make you appreciate what it means to tread cautiously.
Old Jerusalem
No city in the history of the world has been fought over more than Jerusalem. The birthplace of the world's top 3 religions is the living definition of historic and has always been a crossroad of cultures.
Salar de Uyuni
One of the most epic overland 4x4 tours in the world, this 3-day tour takes you to amazing vistas nearly 5,000 meters high, well beyond the amazing Salt Flats themselves.
Great Migration
Each year, nearly 2 million animals make an epic journey across the Mara river from Tanzania into Kenya for greener meals. Predators follow them in great numbers and the sheer amount of wildlife action will astonish.
Bungee Jump
Nothing knocks your human instincts out of its comfort zone more than jumping off a platform 230m up. Humans simply weren't made to fly this way...
Track Silverbacks
There are few moments in life where you will feel time stop when a 500-pound Silverback gorilla false charges you. And the guide's advice if he does? Hold your ground, don't make eye contact and look like you're sorry.
Preikestolen
The hike up to Pulpit Rock will award you with one of the most amazingly beautiful vistas in the world. A sheer drop of 603m over the Lysefjord, have your packed lunch on the natural platform with your feet hanging right off the edge.
Temples of Bagan
Thousands of temples scattered across a massive complex, no two are the same. Some grand statements while others quite small. Tour one of the most extensive temple networks by bicycle for the true experience.
Pizza in Napoli
Pizza is probably the most ubiquitous food that you'll find all over the world. Nothing beats having it from where it was invented. I'm from NYC and had pizza in over 50 countries, believe me.
Sosussvlei
A 30-minute hike up Dune 45 at 5am will be enough to have you huffing and puffing as you walk up a mountain of stairs of sand. But the view of sunrise across the dunes will be.sight you never forget.
Iguazu Falls
The most majestic waterfalls in all of the world. The number of falls and the many different levels of falls will astonish. Visit from both Brasilian and Argentine sides and take a speed boat ride directly into the falls.

Hang with Chimps
Making eye contact with our closest relatives in the animal kingdom will make you feel the connection. Spend an entire day in the wild jungle with a troop of around 100 chimpanzees in Uganda.
Sequoia National Park
You will quickly be amazed once you see just how humungous the largest trees on Earth are. Truly a sight to behold, "General Sherman" will definitely have you leaving feeling small and insignificant.
Aurora Borealis
You can witness one of the most amazing natural displays of beauty from many northern arctic cities, but without a doubt this should be on everyone's bucket list. Watching the green glow dance in the air is a true sight to behold.
Temples in Kyoto
Kyoto is one of the most amazing cities to visit and experience just how zen Japan can be. Temple hopping doesn’t get boring quick because each temple has its own very unique characteristics to help it stand out.

Canyonlands
A winter sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park was one of the coldest and most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen. The color of the sun on the rocks changes vividly by the second and arch beams with extra color.

Auschwitz
Probably the most harrowing place I’ve ever visited. It’s forever a reminder to me and to humanity just how evil men could be. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it…a must see in this world.

Few cities on Earth showcase the magic that happens when cultures mix. From the amazing food, architecture, music and simply feel of the city, no other American city except New York, comes even close to the diversity of NOLA.

The Grand Canyon
A picture of the Grand Canyon is what you should see in the dictionary next to the word "grand." The Grand Canyon completely dwarfs any other canyon in the world. View it, hike down it, boat up it. Just don't miss it.
Sushi in Tokyo
When it comes to sushi, fresh is the name of the game. Again, nothing beats the source: Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo. They may be moving the market soon, so hurry up and catch it before they do.
Meet the King
Very few encounters, even by safari standards will give you as big a rush as meeting in person the King of the Jungle. His mane and sheer projection of strength will make you happy to be in the safari vehicle.

Firenze
Firenze has an extra special place in my heart- it was where I first traveled abroad by myself. It was my sophomore year and it likely set my love for travel for the rest of my life.
Teotihuacan

Petronas Towers
Another example of landmark architecture defining a city…I had fun in Kuala Lumpur, though it certainly wasn’t my favorite city. Expensive drinks and taxi drivers that always tried to scam me, I still found beauty every time looking up at these towers.

Stroll Paris
Paris is probably the most beautiful city in the world when you judge by city layout and beauty and quality of the architecture. Truly a romantic city, the food, sites and ambiance as you stroll the streets is second to none.

Oktoberfest
A truly timeless experience (except for the inflation). I went for the first time in 1999 and again in 2018 and it was nearly exactly as I remembered it, save for the increase in prices and difficultly entering tents of choice.
