Amy Clover: Strong from the Inside Out

My 7-Day Detox Fasting Experience in Koh Phangan
I LOOOOOVE food. I’m sure you do, too. It’s not only one of the greatest pleasures in life but also a powerful way to connect with others. At the same time, food is also frequently used as a way to escape certain emotions, such as loneliness, boredom, and stress. We’ve all been there before, right? […]

Giving First
If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll get everything you want. ~ Zig Zigler A few years back, while exploring the planet on one-way tickets and experiencing so many random acts of kindness, I had a shower-thought: What if, for a continuous period of time, I helped at least one friend […]

Learning Salsa in Medellin, Colombia
After experiencing the coldest winter I’ve ever experienced in my life, while living in the North East of the U.S, I was determined to skip winter completely and decided to spend it in Medellin, Colombia. Why Medellin Colombia you ask? For so many reasons, really: it’s vibrant, modern, inexpensive, has stunning natural scenery, a great […]

My Ironman Journey
It all started 10 years ago when I mistakenly watched an Ironman event after few shots of tequila while backpacking the east coast of Australia. 3.8 KM Swim, 180KM cycle and a 42KM marathon run. Indeed an Ironman. Without thinking of the consequences I told my travelling friends that one day I would finish one. […]
Finding Flow
I’ve been staring at my laptop screen for a few minutes now, trying to write a short sentence for my first full-length book. There is so much I want to share, but can’t seem to find my flow. What is it about writing that challenges me so much? Why can’t I simply get in the […]
Becoming a Surfer
It took me more than 2 years and 5 different countries to finally being able to call myself a surfer. Somehow being able to catch and ride waves consistently was not as easy task. I sweated and struggled and fought but made very little progress with each try. Nevertheless, I’ve never given up that dream. […]
Muay Thai experience
I was tired and breathless. My Muay Thai kickboxing trainer was punching and kicking me repeatedly. I tried to push him away but he kept coming closer. To say I was praying for the bell to ring would be an understatement. When it did ring, I collapsed into the corner, thoroughly exhausted and wondering how […]
Trekking Patagonia
A bit late, but here it is, my Patagonia experience: After spending a month in busy, humid and crowded Buenos Aires, arriving in deserted El Calafate – an Argentinean town in the middle of nowhere with lots of cool – clean fresh air felt so right. El Calafate is the main gateway into Patagonia and […]
Living in Boulder, Colorado
Ever since I met my partner, Kyle, we set out to build a ‘home base’ where we can enjoy the benefits of both freedom and community while pursuing our dreams and goals. . This seemingly simple task proved to be extremely challenging. We considered Melbourne, Australia, my previous home-base, but after living there for a […]
My Italian Adventure
When I first thought of a summer trip in Europe, I wondered which city would be my starting point. I’m not much of a planner and mainly rely on intuition when deciding on traveling destinations, so when Rome first popped in my mind, I didn’t have to think again, and 10 minutes later I had […]
Viva la Buenos Aires
Traveling in South America has always been at the top of my list, not only for its extraordinary nature, but also because of its many colorful cultures. It’s a trip that many young Israelis do, almost religiously after serving in the army. It’s a trip that I hadn’t done in my twenties, due to my […]
Loving Brazil
“What is your favorite place you’ve traveled to?” This one question always seems to be standing out. At first, it seemed hard to answer, as I liked so many places and each one for its own reason; however, with a bit more thought, the same winner is always crowned: more than 2 blissful months in […]
Leaving Melbourne
What would make someone leave his comfortable life, quit his stable career, sell almost everything he owns, and go on an unknown journey? I don’t have all the answers, but one thing I’ve learned is that we all have the same basic need to grow. Some of us prefer to stay in our comfort zone […]
Trekking Nepal
Trekking the highest mountains on earth with their glittering, snowy peaks surrounded by green forests and wild rivers has always captured my imagination. So I made sure that Nepal was on my itinerary this time. Only a few roads extend into the mountains, keeping Nepal’s culture and scenery untouched, so the only way to truly […]
Motorcycling the Alps
One of my biggest dreams as a teenager was to ride a motorcycle through Europe’s highest mountains, so I decided to take a break from the city and move myself to the snowy peaks of Switzerland. Choosing a motorcycle was quite easy; I had always wanted to ride a BMW, so I ignored the price […]
Europa Classica
I’ve finally found some time to write about my last month in Europe during the summer of 2009. After spending few weeks full of sun and partying in Eastern Europe and days full of nature in Switzerland, I felt it was time to experience some of Northern Europe’s classic countries and their stylish capitals. In […]
Volunteering in the US
Volunteering while traveling in Peru served as great way to get a deeper connection with the country and its people, so when I saw a similar opportunity of volunteering in the US, I grabbed it with both hands. The option institute which is also an international Autism treatment center is nestled in the middle of […]
