an honest lifestyle
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. […]
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 […]
Read MoreOne 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 […]
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.

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 […]
Read MoreHi from Israel! This is my first post in over two weeks, but only because it’s been a crazy, transcontinental, time-shifting two weeks. The Sunday before last, I boarded a plane to London, had breakfast in London, and then boarded another plane to Tel Aviv only an hour later. Three continents in twenty-four hours. It […]
Read MoreHampton’s, Bar Harbor, Newport. Everyone has their vacation spot for a preppy, WASPy, beachy summer getaway. I was born into a Cape Cod family. For over forty years, my mom’s family has been coming to Yarmouth, Cape Cod, and from the middle of May through Labor Day, we’re at my grandma’s summer house every weekend. […]
Read MoreThis weekend, two of my best girlfriends from Columbia came to visit me on the Cape. We swam, sunned, danced, drank, and laughed. Even though I can feel fall fast approaching, I’m definitely a summer gal, enjoying everything this season has to offer. What’s making me happy lately: My drink of choice: a root beer […]
