Fun Facts

The hummus in Israel really is life-changingly awesome. I have never tried anything like it ever before, and it's approximately 1 million times tastier than any pre-packaged hummus you've ever tasted.

The Western Wall is the holiest site on earth for the Jewish people, and it has always been a lifelong goal of mine to visit it. That was one of my favourite parts of the trip.

I studied the town of Tzfat in a class I took in University on Jewish Mysticism. It is a very interesting town, a little bit like a Byron Bay (Australia) but with a spiritual twist. I loved it, and the Artist Colony there is home to some excellent handmade Judaica.
