April 13, 2018

It's taken me about 4.5 weeks to parse everything I saw in New Zealand.  The country is remarkably beautiful.  It has inspired to me to want to visit the national parks of the U.S.  This post is an homage to the beautiful landscapes of the North Island...

What Comes Next After Malaysia

March 11, 2018

I have just completed five beautiful weeks in Malaysia and a few days in Singapore.  I'm currently in New Zealand.  The simple fact that I am so far from home and in such a remote part of the world is just so exciting.

I have about five draft blog posts and essays about my experience in Malaysia that I am finalizing.  I also have a few drafts about some New York City urban planning issues that I have some thoughts on…

What the fuck?  It took all of this for Congress to step up??? As in they could have started working towards solutions years ago?? And this isn’t some local or state-level only situation? Our politicians SUCK.

This is what I look like today in portrait mode. 🤩 Life in Vienna was rough for the first 3 months.  The next 2 months got better. Now things are legitimately very good.  This is the challenge I wanted and whelp, I got it!

Thank you to everyone sup
Arrived in Novi Sad, Serbia #travel
Making my way to Belgrade via Szeged, Hungary.  The first building is the opera house from the end of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. #travel
A short Sunday trip to a forest 20 minutes north of Vienna, along one of the Danube offshoots.
Architectural highlights of Vienna, taken over the last few weeks.
20 minutes north of Vienna is the charming town of Klosterneuburg.  Easy train trip with beautiful hiking and good Schweinrostbraten.
Was here a few weeks ago.  This is not the view from the city center but from a bridge about a 15 walk from the center.
Lunch view.  The building in the foreground was rebuilt by the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1930s.  #history #archaeology #athens #greece

Jerusalem
November 14, 2019

The last time I had visited the New City of Jerusalem was in 1998. Every other time I’ve been to Jerusalem, it was to pray at the Western Wall. My short trips to Israel in the past meant that I had to find as much time as possible to spend in Tel Aviv and also visit family so I couldn’t really take jaunts to places where I didn’t really want to be. During this trip, I had the time to rediscover Jerusalem..

After spending five nights in Tel Aviv, I was eager to return to nature. While Tel Aviv has magnificent beaches and eclectic neighborhoods, I wanted to go hiking. Ten months into my trip, I had been doing some form of hiking multiple times a week. Being surrounded by cars, buses, bicycles and people was overwhelming and frustrating…
