I'm russ, I'm from New Zealand and have developed a love for travelling over the last couple of years. It was the best descision of my life for sure, breaking the routine and heading off to explore the globe, and I would highly recommend getting out there and having a close up look and anything that you've read about or heard about that intrests you, because if it looks cool on TV, I can garuntee you that it'll be even cooler when you are there amoungst it.

New Zealand dominates

these kiwi girls came with us to the desert too so it was pretty fun.

Hey Russ, Cool trip man. Listen I got a question for you. I was told that once a person gets a Israeli Visa stamp on his Passport he would be denied entry into Middle Eastern Countries?? Is that true?? I mean u just entered Jordan, Im not sure if its a GCC country. I would love to visit Israel but not at the expense of getting kicked out of UAE!! Lemme know dude. Goodluck on the road. Try to visit The Empty Quarter while you are in the neighbourhood :) Me.
