In this episode of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, we are joined by returning guest Kyle Desrosiers, a Fulbright scholar, adventurer, and world traveler currently living and studying in Tel Aviv, Israel. Kyle joins us to talk about a disastrous trek and camping trip along the Jesus Trail at the Sea of Galilee, spending Easter with some nuns at a French Benedictine abbey, and living in Israel during some of the country's most somber and important remembrance days.
