Israel briefly opened to foreigners in November 2021, before closing again in December due to the Omicron variant. This unique look shows famous holy sites that are typically swarming with tourists – except this time, we’ve got the place almost entirely to ourselves.

Mexico’s Best Cenotes with Kids

A trip to Mexico isn’t complete without a visit to one (or many) Cenotes. These freshwater limestone sinkholes are located all throughout the Yucatan peninsula. Which one should you visit? Will your kids like them? How cold is the water? In this video I share my thoughts as we visit several different cenotes all throughout the Yucatan. Exploring these places with my wife and kids was a pleasure on a recent trip to Mexico. We cut short our time at the beach so we could find and explore more cenotes. There’s a whole lot to see in Mexico just […]

5 Fantastic Places in Europe That Most American’s Don’t Know About

Most American’s love Europe, but they barely scratch the surface when it comes to European travel. Beyond Paris, London, and Rome there are so many amazing places to explore. In this video I visit 5 locations that are among my favorite “lesser known” locations in Europe. While all of these places receive tourists, usually they come from other parts of Europe. As an American, I can say with confidence that the locations featured in this video are “not-on-the-radar” for the average tourist from the states.

Stockholm Sweden – 7 Loves and a disappointment

Just days before the world closed to with the coronavirus pandemic, I made a visit to Stockholm, Sweden where I discovered 7 things I loved about the city, and one disappointment. Stockholm is a terrific city (though during the winter time its a bit frigid). Among things I loved in Stockholm were the Vasa Museum, Swedish Meatballs, the subway system, and (of course) the ABBA museum where I pushed my entertainment and singing talents to the limit! My time in Stockholm wasn’t perfect however, as my expectations were built up to experience the wonders of the Drottingholm palace, something […]

Best Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Mercedes or Porsche?

One city, two iconic car museums. I take you on a tour of both musuems and tell you which one I like best. These are two iconic “must see” museums – each of them took tens-of-millions of dollars to build. They both house a collection of iconic automobiles and they both attract tens-of-thousands of visitors each year. So which one is best? I have some different thoughts on both of these places. The Mercedes Benz museum is surely world class and I was basically impressed by everything , except the lack of a Mercedes to sit in. That’s right, […]

All Alone Inside St Basil’s Cathedral

A unique and remarkable experience for me on a recent trip to Russia as I found myself alone in the famous St. Basil’s cathedral (upper sanctuary) when a quartet started to sing. It’s not too often that you find yourself alone in a church as iconic as St. Basil’s cathedral, however, one day while visiting Moscow, I was the first to enter the main sanctuary and what happened next was a complete surprise as an extraordinarily talented quartet of singers started to sing. I was fortunate enough to remember to pull out my camera and record the event as […]
