Her stories were so infectious, that despite having lived in NYC for 5 years, I wanted to take her tour! Here’s why:
Favorite: MESSAGE from Borneo + Video Borneo, the 3rd largest island in the world, is a place unto itself – a magical spot full of amazing wildlife and nature and constant discovery.

Photo of the Week: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi I visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque during a 2-day layover in Abu Dhabi. It was my first time in one of the United Arab Emirates and I was fascinated with this up-close look at the Arabic culture. When visiting the Mosque, I donned a traditional abaya, a black cloak that covered me from head to toe. It’s the 8th largest mosque in the world and can host 40,000 people during Friday prayers.
