Brazil Mugging

Yes, I Was Assaulted and Robbed in Rio

I opened my eyes and there was a man standing over me. "Are you alright? What happened?" he asked me in Portuguese. I looked around incredibly confused as to where I was or what was going on. It was almost four in the morning and I was sitting in the middle of the street, my head hurt, and

HUZAA! It's trip time! That's the sound of your bank when you take yourself to another country. Few things can complicate your financial position abroad like being showered in bank fees (except maybe a good old-fashioned mugging), but fortunately workarounds to this blatant robbery committed

Taxi to Petra: A Love Story

It isn't every day that one finds (or makes) love in a taxi, but fortunately for myself and one lucky cabbie, that day was about to arrive for the both of us. Our story begins one night in the city of Eilat, Israel. I was determined to see the ancient city of Petra (in Jordan) and had elected
