an honest lifestyle
A year and a half. Seventeen months. I took a very very long hiatus from this blog. I came home from Israel, and my entire life changed. New school, new apartment, new job. I got my first pair of prescription glasses and started working part-time for my father. I dealt with heartbreak, I missed my […]
Read MoreMy last post was December 16, 2013, and I was still in Israel. Today is January 19, 2014, a whole new year, a different country, and a lot of changes. In the past month, I’ve been in Israel, England, and America. I’ve had a hard time readjusting to life at home, but I’m excited for […]
Read MoreLess than a week left in Israel, and less than two weeks until Boston. Oh, Boston. My city, my home, my heart. If you’ve read my first few posts on this blog, you know how I feel about my hometown. I dedicated the first ever post to my city after the bombing, and how proud […]
Read MoreOne week left in Israel as of today. It’s surreal. I feel like I’ve just gotten here, and I’m about to pack up and leave again. My emotions are a jumble; I can’t imagine leaving my friends and my love, but Boston is calling to me. Israel is my homeland, but Boston is my home. […]
Read MoreAs of today, I have three weeks left in Israel. I can’t decide if I’m more devastated to leave, or thrilled to come home. I find the promise of family, friends, holiday cheer, and my own car and bed to be very alluring, but I can’t imagine leaving the people I’ve come to love here […]

It is so expensive to travel from America to anywhere, but within Europe and the Middle East, you can fly country-to-country for much cheaper. So when I decided to spend the semester in Israel, my parents told me […]
Read MoreIt’s true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun. A few hiccups aside, I am beyond happy here, and dreading it all ending. That being said, here are a few photos post-North Trip through Halloween and the past week or so… Breakfast for dinner obviously means mimosas. Enjoying beach weekends… thank god for […]
Read MoreSo far, things are pretty great here. My classes are interesting, I’ve made some great friends, and have been taking advantage of everything Tel Aviv has to offer. But this isn’t a Tel Aviv post. Last weekend, my program took us on a trip to northern Israel. It was so nice to be back in […]
Read MoreFirst week in Tel Aviv, first week at a new university… Obviously I have a lot to say. And I will say it. And you can feel free to read it, or not. But for the visual people who don’t want to peruse my ramblings, here’s a photo post about my first week in Tel […]
Read MoreBefore I talk about my week in the West Bank, I have a disclaimer: I don’t really partake in the West Bank settlements conflict. Not because I don’t have feelings about my country, rather, because I love Israel so much, and the number of problems it has makes me too emotional and upset. Between outside […]
