Israel

In September 2022, I traveled to Israel for my friend Tammy’s wedding, though the journey started with a dreadful experience with Wizz Air that nearly made me miss the rehearsal dinner. Once I arrived, the trip turned into a whirlwind of beauty, history, and culture. Tel Aviv, with its vibrant nightlife, wasn’t quite my scene, but Jerusalem was captivating—its mix of religious cultures and rich history left a lasting impression. From exploring Masada to floating in the Dead Sea, the adventure was filled with unforgettable experiences. The highlight was attending Tammy’s wedding on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the Dome of the Rock at sunset—truly one of the most beautiful ceremonies I’ve ever witnessed. Despite Wizz Air’s continued chaos, including another canceled flight home, I found solace in a chance encounter with a fellow passenger, leading to a night in an executive suite. A trip full of contrasts, unforgettable moments, and some serious highs and lows.
