Hello There!

I'm Shaddi Abdala

An adventure lurks at every corner and I wanted to share my stories through this blog.

I seek new experiences everywhere I go, whether it is down the block or across an ocean, join my journey however close or far.

My passion for traveling and discovering new places introduced me to the world of aviation and I haven’t looked back since. As a current full-time flight instructor I share these passions and knowledge with future aviators and look forward to flying from my future seat in the flight deck.

Thanks for reading along about everyday shenanigans, aviation adventures, and trips around the world.  Read More About Me

TRAVELING

Where Every Journey Counts

Embark on your journey with the confidence and purpose necessary for a fulfilling experience. Take control and make the most of your adventure.

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

Portugal, Lisbon

Lose yourself in the rhythm of Fado music drifting through intimate taverns, indulge in delectable pastéis de nata at iconic cafés, and marvel at the intricate azulejo tiles adorning ornate churches and grand palaces. As you traverse the iconic yellow trams climbing steep hills and stroll along the waterfront of the Tagus River, you’ll discover a city that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation.
