I had long had a trip to Laos and Cambodia on my list. In fact, they were two countries I had sampled on a trip to Thailand in 2015. In Laos, I had even been just 30 minutes, just long enough to check out a little market during a tour that landed us in the…

This small territory is always for sad reasons at the top of the world news, but we never talk enough about what it is like to live in Palestine, even in the quieter times. On my trip, I got a sense of what it was like to live in the West Bank in times of…
