I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had a totally exhausting week; it is so hard to walk around on a boot cast! None of my shoes are the same height as the boot, so after about a day, my back was all uneven, which is super uncomfortable. You know, in addition to the […]
One of the first questions people ask me about my times in Israel is, “Which city do you love more: Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?” That is the ultimate apples and oranges kind of question. There really is no comparing Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is teeming with history, ancient ruins, beautiful little synagogues, mosques, and […]
This week had some pretty scorching, beautiful days, and I was lucky enough to have a light work schedule, so I was outside a lot! Hope y’all are enjoying your summer sun as much as I am. XX, Gabrielle
Happy (late) Independence Day! I hope everyone had a great July 4th, filled with family, fun and fireworks!!! From mid-May to Labor Day, I spend almost every weekend at my family’s beach house on Cape Cod. It is most definitely my happy place; I am a city girl by upbringing, so our Cape house is […]
My 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 […]
Less 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 […]
One 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. […]
One of the best parts about being on a different continent is Israel’s proximity to other countries. 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 […]
So 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 […]
