During the summer of 2017 Or took a five-month gap with his wife to hike more than 2300 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail through California, Oregon, and Washington.

In his free time, Or enjoys spending time with his wife and friends, hiking, running, listening to music, and any activity that involves water.
