Tel Aviv City Guide

Tel Aviv City Guide

Although two weeks is really not long enough to do everything in a city like Tel Aviv, I was fortunate enough to have a cousin that lives right in the city center, affording me easy access to plenty of great bars, restaurants, shops and other fun things (like the beach!) Here are some of my favorites: C A F E S  //  R E S T A U R A N T S  Little Prince Bookshop: Super cute and chill library-themed cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating. They have thousands of books on their shelves, in Hebrew and English, although I am not sure if you are allowed to borrow them! Olive Korner: Located right on the corner of the street, this cafe has the perfect outdoor seating area for people watching. I ordered the lamb shish kebab plate, which was great but not AMAZING. We were also disappointed by the…

Israel Travel Blog: Weeks 2 & 3

Click here to read Part One Day 8: After a busy few days, my cousin and I chilled SUPER hard on Tuesday. We both slept in, did some random shit around the apartment (I blogged and she cleaned), then finally went out to get lunch around 2:30. We were both HANGRY, so we just walked to a spot near her house. It was super cute and the food was good, but I definitely wasn’t blown away by it. We took another way back to her place, wandering through some pretty side streets and taking a few photos. The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning her apartment so we could FINALLY sleep her in room again (see my last post for explanation), then chilling for a couple hours in her nice clean space. One of her friends that I met my first day was leaving Israel the next day, so…

Israel Travel Blog: Week One

Israel Travel Blog: Week One

Day 0: Even though I packed everything the day before, I still felt rushed and stressed to do a bunch of stuff last minute before my flight. Does anyone else feel like that’s just a law of traveling? If you don’t get stressed out at the last minute, are you even a traveler? Anyway, I am glad I decided to go to the gym, because as soon as I left I got a text saying my flight was delayed. At first I was relieved, because that meant more time to shower, change and do my last minute stuff without having to rush after the gym. But I quickly realized that it could also completely fuck me over if it made me miss my connecting flight from JFK to Tel Aviv. After the saga with my mom getting stuck in NYC for two days over a cancelled 1-hour connecting flight home…

San Diego City Guide

San Diego City Guide

Before moving back to the DC area last June, I lived about three blocks from the beach in San Diego for almost three years. Although I am very happy to be back home, I definitely left a piece of my heart there! While the beach lifestyle dominates most of San Diego, there is a ton of stuff to do that will make you feel miles away from the beach. Honestly, San Diego really has it all: beach, city, mountains, and desert (if you go far enough). Without further ado, here is my somewhat comprehensive guide to everything to do in San Diego, both the city and the larger San Diego county. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but I made sure to add all my favorites and must-sees. If I missed anything that you have done in San Diego and loved, comment below! B E A C H…
