In this episode of the Attempt Adventure podcast, Michael interviews a very special guest: his younger brother Kyle Desrosiers. Kyle is a world traveler and adventurer, and is currently living and studying abroad in Tel Aviv, Israel. Over a bottle of Israeli craft beer, Michael and Kyle share a conversation about cultural adventures, celebrating holidays and festivals in Israel, and adventuring in a safe and responsible way during the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
