I have no clue how most people go to their local supermarket, grab a box of industrial hummus and claim it’s wonderful.  In the middle east, we take it to a different level. Although, hummus goes back to the twelve century, it’s origins are still unknown (not to mention provide a good 2 hours debate among any 2 Middle-easterns).

if you ask any Israeli where is the best hummus located, you will probably get a long & diverse list. In the Middle-east  people take their hummus seriously. We all agree that the Arabs turned the hummus into an art and they make the best hummus around yet to be found. However the only question is, which one is considered ‘the best’.

Every once and a while when the city starts to ‘crawl’ into my blood system and drive me mad I call one of my best friends, Jason. I usually don’t have to say much or try to persuade him to get out of the city and head somewhere camping.It is all quite obvious. The only question is “where”?.
For those of you that look at nature like some sort of special place that you only go to during your annual vacation, I recommend to take the coming weekend to head out of the city a bit. It will clean up some dead brain cells that got burned from staying in the madness of the city too long.

Leaving a place always comes with a bit of drama. It doesnt have to be the bad kind, but at least it has some sort of bitter-sweet elements in it.  and I have to admit that from my personal experience,  I have become some of an expert in leaving places…(and arriving to new ones)

Today, after 5 years in one of the finest cities in North America, Montreal. I wrapped 2 years into 2 2/3 suitcases, which is an impossible task by itself, and moved on toward the horizon. Well, maybe not the horizon but at least for a new start.
