What a Trip

On September 26, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, San Francisco, TravelLeave a comment

Yup, it's been a while and that's because I have been very busy traveling. First I spent an overnight in the Golan Heights, hiking and exploring the sights with my internship program. It was nice to spend a short time with everyone on the program and it was even nicer to be hiking. It made …

That Something Special

On September 14, 2013 By JordanIn About, Internship, Israel, Nightlife, TravelLeave a comment

This past weekend was the holiest of Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. It is the tradition to fast for 24 hours, spend some time in services praying and reflect on your transgressions over the past year. Here in Israel the entire country shuts down, no stores are open and no one is …

Checking In

On September 8, 2013September 8, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, TravelLeave a comment

Sometimes I forget that I'm no longer in America. Tel Aviv has the buzz of New York, the accessibility of San Francisco and the coast of LA (but better of course), and I feel as comfortable as I would be in my home country. But then there are those moments, those still frames that ooze …

I am not sure how many of you have been to Israel or how many of you have had the chance to enjoy fantastic Middle Eastern food, but I am in heaven here! The fresh produce, Israeli dips and bountiful spices keep my taste buds satisfied morning, noon and night. Here are are some of …

Promenade

On August 28, 2013 By JordanIn About, Exercise, Internship, IsraelLeave a comment

We had a long day of walking throughout the city, visiting different neighborhoods and historic sites. And as much as I hate being herded in a large group with a tourist sign flashing above my head, it was wonderful to learn more facts about Tel Aviv and be guided through this young city. The Habima National …

IKEA, twice in 24 hours? Yup!

On August 26, 2013 By JordanIn IsraelLeave a comment

Who doesn't love a good IKEA trip? A chance to get creative with decor and exercise your patience as you build less-than reliable furniture. Yes, there is an IKEA here in Tel Aviv and yes, I frequented this staple of young adult life twice in a matter of 24 hours. We rented a car and …

Getting Ready

On August 24, 2013 By JordanIn Israel, TravelLeave a comment

All I have to say is that after we move in to our new apartment tomorrow I am SO ready to be done moving! Moving out of our San Francisco home was no easy feat and it was physically and emotionally exhausting. How do you say goodbye to that menu you saved from a birthday …

Today was filled with plenty of sun, lots of walking, and most importantly, less stress. We fell in love with an apartment and will sign the lease tomorrow, so with the weight of finding our new home released from our shoulders we decided to tour the city. Here are some pics from the day:   …

Yes, it has been quite some time since my words have graced your screens, and yes you read correctly, I am now living in Israel. Well, truthfully I have only lived in Israel for a few hours so you are not missing any of my Middle Eastern adventures. However, a lot has happened since I …
