It’s A Small World
Israel has a culture that’s warm, inviting and unlike any other I’ve ever experienced. While people in some countries tend to be more reserved and less inclined to hosting tourists, Israelis are bubbly, loud and more than happy to show you around, tell you where to grab a bite to eat, or engage you in…

For The Love of Food
Everyone’s heard of Israel’s traditional fare, such as shwarma and hummus. If you’re lucky you’ve even gotten to taste some of it. But Israel’s eats have become a lot more varied as of late, and it’s not uncommon to find both new interpretations of old classics and completely exotic fusion dishes, as well. Just take…

I Believe in Wanderlust
I don’t think life is meant to be lived under one roof, in one country. I think it is meant to be experienced, to be relished, in far-off places and in little corners, with firsthand experiences of colorful cultures, and traditions far different from your own. I think life is meant to be an adventure,…

Zurich Aesthetic
I’m finally in Switzerland! Zurich, to be exact, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been four years since I was last here, and not much has changed. The grocery still makes delicious fresh bread, the trams still arrive exactly on the dot, and the bikes are still ever-present. It’s comforting to know that I can…

Garden of Eden
This Sunday, we took a trip upstate to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables at Ochs Orchard. The orchard was around an hour away, and the route there was scenic and surrounded by greenery. When we arrived, we were given a map to all of the different places where we could pick our own produce,…

Six impossibly awesome things. ∞ Desperately missing Florida’s ubiquitous palm trees ∞ ∞ Apricot clafoutis with leftover apricots that’s quickly become my new favorite dessert ∞ ∞ Footprints in the sand from my last beach visit ∞ ∞ Crazy good cobbler…

Sunrise Beach
As if in the blink of an eye, the past seven weeks literally flew by, and my time in Florida has come to an end. To celebrate our last night here, we went to see sunrise on the beach, and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The fiery sun, the cotton candy…

Just Beachy
Well, I was right. Florida is extremely humid, and no amount of conditioner can make up for the effect it’s having on my hair. But the abundant palm trees and gorgeous beaches certainly do! Just the other night we went to see sunset on the boardwalk, and though it didn’t cool down a bit, the…

Six Impossible Things
This past week has been pretty epic. The weather’s gorgeous, our Shavuos in the mountains with family (and friends) was beautiful, and the rhubarb that I started growing a mere two week ago is already sprouting. As always, I’m grateful for all the little things as well as the big, and Six Impossible Things is…
