Is Israel safe to visit? And other things to know about Israel travel

3rd October 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

Israel was somewhere I wanted to visit for a while. My mom went when she was around my age and had some great stories about floating in the Dead Sea and exploring the Old Town of Jerusalem. Yet when I told people (other than my mom) that I wanted to travel to Israel I was met with plenty of hesitation. Many questioned me if Israel was safe to visit because in the western part of the world, including my home country of Canada, Israel is often perceived as dangerous....

Where to eat in Jerusalem: 7 delicious foodie finds

12th September 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

If I could write a love letter to a specific country’s food, it would be Israel. There’s a lot I love about this area of the word, but the food is a big part of why I keep going back. To be honest, I don’t really know what it is about the food there that I love so much. I mean, hummus is available around the world but it tastes better in Israel. Craft beer is, again, found around the world but I find myself craving a very specific one from Israel. Oh, and speaking of cravings, don’t...

What to wear in Israel (& Palestine): Packing tips for women

1st September 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

The land of Israel and Palestine is one of the most interesting places I have ever been and has, over time, become one of my favourite destinations. So much so that I actually spent 3 months living in Tel Aviv in 2022. However, while I’m confident in picking out what to wear now, the first time I visited I struggled to figure out what to wear in Israel. I knew that a huge part of this land was religious (for Jews, Muslims, and Christians) but I also knew that while modesty and respectful...

My reality of visiting Israel and Palestine as a content creator

22nd June 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

My time in living in Tel Aviv was one of the best and yet also most difficult travel experiences of my life. As a creator, I shared a lot on social media of what was happening at the time but I feel like I needed to write about it too. Because as much as I shared on my Instagram stories, there was a lot that I didn’t. So buckle up, because this is going to be a big one....

Tel Aviv Food Guide: My foodie favourites

26th May 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

When people asked me why I chose to use Tel Aviv as a base for a few months I had several reasons. However, without a doubt, the food was one of them. This part of the world has some of the best, freshest, most delicious food I have ever had in my travels. From street-food staples like hummus and falafel to fresh seafood, incredible vegetable dishes, pastries, ice cream and more. Tel Aviv is foodie heaven and I did my best to eat my way around the city....

The best things to do in Akko: Exploring Akko’s history, food, and more!

23rd May 2022 by Eat Sleep Breathe Travel

I stand off to the corner of the market street, peering down at the map on my phone trying to figure out which fork in the alleyway I want to take. The crowd bustling around me, a cacophony of laughter and bargaining as locals buy their vegetables and fish from the vendors. One of the vendors sees me and my map and catches my eye before pointing to the left. I smile in appreciation and tuck my phone back into my bag, choosing to trust this stranger’s sense of direction over mine as I explore...
