Tips from the community

My first solo (read: without parents) international journey was to Israel when I was 17. I went with a youth group and we spent 6 weeks touring the country. I still remember getting to experience ancient history coming to life, what it felt like to float in the Dead Sea, and the intensity of the Wailing Wall. I also remember how welcoming and generous the Israeli people were and what a beautiful country it was.
