Middle East/Israel/Tel Aviv/Dead Sea/Entry

- Nathalie is a friend I met at the language school. She is a passionate Colombian girl living in Israel. We went to class together every day in Ireland, played together, talked about each other's life backgrounds, and formed a deep friendship. After she left Ireland, we kept in touch and she always invited me to Israel, which led to this trip to the Middle East💙 On the day of departure, I found out that my Jordan trip was booked on the wrong date, which meant that I had to arrive at the bus departure point to Jordan before 6:30am after the plane landed in Tel Aviv at 5:30am. The plane was delayed and the customs asked a lot of questions. I was extremely anxious throughout the journey. Fortunately, Nathalie came to pick me up as soon as I left the airport and helped me contact the bus and asked them to wait for me, so I was able to take the Jordan trip smoothly. 🇯🇴🏜️ After returning to Israel, Nathalie, her boyfriend Kevin and my new friend Bryan took me to experience the most local lifestyle. Their excellent cooking skills never let me go hungry. They drove me to see many beautiful scenery and explained the local culture and religion to me along the way, which opened my eyes to this strange country. We played in the water and sunbathed at the beach during the day and drank and danced at home at night. They even played Jay Chou's mojito and taught me to dance salsa! This week was like a dream, it was the trip of my dreams💫 Looking back on how we met and the significance of this journey, I am filled with gratitude. I feel really lucky to have such a good friend, and it also gave me the courage to go to places I never thought I could reach alone. Nathalie always reminds me that you only live once, so do whatever you want! I think that in the days ahead I will be able to face anything more confidently and with more strength. Although I don’t know when we will meet again, these memories are worth cherishing for a lifetime. #Israel #Tel Aviv #israel #telaviv #traveldiaries #travelmemories
