Israel has a fascinating and complex history and culture. Everything about Israel totally exceeded my expectations, from the landscapes and experiences to the culture and cuisine. A few particular highlights for me were exploring Jerusalem with my expert guide and understanding how three major religions coexist in such a small area, visiting the Golan Heights with an ex-army intelligence official and getting under the skin of the local life and culture of Tel Aviv’s bustling culinary scene.
I am off to explore The Pacific Islands in order to visit some of the most pristine isles on earth, meet with fascinating, ancient tribal cultures and learn about their origins, enjoy some of the best diving in the world and discover the diversity from one island to another.
