So, I'm starting a travel show. I've been working on it for months and want to show you the world from a perspective that I think is missing online and across television. Right now it's just me doing all of the filming and editing and scouting and design, but please stick with me and we will grow this thing together - and hopefully see each other in person around the world.
And we're starting right here in Turkey.

My family and I are here in Istanbul for the next month learning languages, deepening our faith, meeting thousands of wonderful people, and seeing why Istanbul was considered the center of the world for centuries.
But one very special place here has absolutely captured my heart and today I cannot wait to tell you all about the beautiful soul known as Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari. He was a very special companion of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
And much to my surprise, he is buried right here in Istanbul. Why? How did he get here, so far away from home, and why does it matter?
Let me break it all down for you, OK? It's a beautiful story.
