Q8.5

Wow! I've been a physio for 6 months! How does it feel forever and only a blink at the same time? It definitely changes the dynamic since I was in Kuwait for my internship last year as well but it still blows my mind. Though the adventures and learning curve are less concentrated than a …

Sri Lanka: Nuwara Eliya

After leaving Kandy, we started our journey toward tea country. This was one of our major goals for the trip so we were quite excited. Sure enough as we made it deeper into the hills the view just continued to get better and better. We were able to make some photo stops along the way …

Sri Lanka: Colombo -> Kandy

I'm late in posting, per usual. This whole traveling mixed with living abroad thing is surprisingly challenging when it comes to sorting through pics and writing a synopsis. I blame the slow internet.... This journey began at the end of February over the Kuwait National Day long weekend. Though some say the celebrations are worth …

Hebron

Gosh, what to say about my day in H2. It could not have been a more miserable day regarding the weather. That combined with busses breaking down and a long journey in the gloom solidified the mood I anticipated going into this tour. I participated in what is coined a dual narrative tour. We spent …

Bethlehem & Old City Market

Well Tuesday rolled around and despite the weather saying it would not rain, it did rain on my bus ride to the city. The good news is, that was the extent of it for the day. The not so great news is that even tho I left really early I made it just in time for …

Jerusalem: Yad Vashem & Mount of Olives

So after only a couple of days I could tell I was already wearing myself out. I woke up a bit sleepy but tried to ramp up for an emotional day. My first stop was to Yad Vashem - the Holocaust museum here in Jerusalem. I don't know that I have words to comment on …

Jerusalem: Old City

Sunday morning we work up and went for a long walk with Jessie (the puppy) through the forest close to Leda's house. I got a better appreciation for the damage done by the fires as we went deeper into the forest than the other day. Amidst how sad that was I had the real privlege …

Dead Sea: Israel Edition

I crashed super early my first night but it worked out because I had a 4 am alarm set. The day before we decided to do the sunrise hike at Masada. Though we were a bit late to have sunrise right at the top, having the dawn light as we started walking was lovely and …

Israel: Intro

December 2016: It was strange to realize how long I've actually been in Kuwait.  It's been just over two months of work but I've been in the country long enough to need to renew my visitor visa this week. Crazy to think about considering how much we travelled when I was here for almost the same …

Christmas in Kuwait

Obviously this post is long overdue but the holidays came and flew by all too quickly. I was working Christmas Eve and day so not too much celebrating went down but I did enjoy throughout the season and was able to have a fancy dinner party with some new friends for New Years. Always fun …
