Using my newly established skills as an amateur geographer, I compiled some of our trip’s most memorable moments into a map compilation to better tell our story. Click on the picture to see the story of where we traveled!
Last night in Israel
a Last night in Tel Aviv, I was treated to a nice, authentic lamb shawarma pita. Covered in tahini and vegetables, this was delectable.

We went to the other side of Israel, and still we saw lots of stray cats! We decided it wasn’t a coincidence anymore, but part of life. Everybody we asked just took it as part of daily life. It was in Jerusalem where the culture shock started to kick in. Jerusalem is a very modern […]

Tel Aviv is a very modern type of city. Nobody was super culture shocked coming to Israel, because Tel Aviv was just a modern city. One thing that surprised us all were the cats. They all looked pretty well taken care of, but there are a lot of them out on the street. They even […]

Ok so real talk, the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem is where it’s at as far as food goes. Shown is a falafel laffa that you’d write home to your mom about. Definitely something not to be overlooked, good stuff. Take a look: 10/10 would go again. Highly recommend!

First night in Jerusalem we treated ourselves to some fire pitas. Shown was half of a fish shawarma and a ground lamb pita that were to die for; not to mention Arak on the side! Bon apetít!
