The first week I traveled in Israel I was surprised in many ways. There were so many things I did not expect that I decided to write them all down. I love going to a country without any expectations, because those who have expectations can only get disappointed! Right? I found many reasons to visit Israel, but also some things I didn't like. These are some vital things to know before you travel to Israel that I think would be handy to know.

If you are looking for a unique experience then you should consider a trip to this country full of contrasts. In May 2017 I was able to visit Israel and had such amazing experiences that I could come up with a ton of reasons why you should also travel to Israel. Like everywhere else there are also a couple downsides which I discuss at the end of the article. In my Israel Travel Guide I give you an inside of things you should know before your Israel holiday, because not everything is what is likes in this beautiful but sometimes crazy destination in the Middle East.

You know where to find the Western Wall and the beach in Tel Aviv, but you are looking for more unique things to do in Israel right? Everywhere you will find the same lists but I found you a couple fun things to do in Israel that are completely different and you wont find in your guidebook. Take a look at this list and I am sure this you will spice up your travels in this amazing country.

Traveling is always fun, even when it is not funny! I try to keep on telling this to myself even in the worst moments when everything seems to fall apart. Leaving Sydney after I resided there for almost 5 months already made me a little sad. But when I landed in Hong Kong after a shit flight with Qantas and found a message request in my Facebook inbox I thought damn this day cant get any worse. But yeah I definitely could, when I received a message on the plan just before I was about to land in Israel, country number 78.

Curious how many miles I traveled? How many countries I have been? And how my 2017 flight schedule looked like? In this blog I am recapping all my trips of 2017 and I collected some cool statistics about my travels. Plus some insight in my travel plans for 2018.

Are you up for going to the Midburn Festival in Israel? What is that? The second biggest Burning Man Festival after the original one in the US. What? Damn of course I want to go, where do I buy tickets… Two weeks later I boarded a plane in Australia, also known as my horrortrip from Sydney to Tel Aviv to fly all the way to Israel for Midburn Israel.
