My 13 Day Trip Israel
I can’t really begin to describe how amazing the trip to Israel was. I got to see a side of Israel that is so far from the conflict that is always described on the news. The Israel Ministry of Tourism, Stand With Us, and the entire Once In Lifetime Crew did a great job of […]
Learning How to Speak Hebrew (Basic Expressions)

The Israeli Beauty & The Beast
You remember the story right? Gorgeous girl meets really hairy man and they fall in love. I have to tell you there are a lot of beauties here in Tel Aviv and a lot of hairy men too. Hairy women? Not so much. The situation in Israel is a love and hate relationship. They love […]
