The next few blog posts will center around the amazing journey to Israel from which I just returned. For those of you who don't know, I had the unfathomable opportunity to go on a paid-in-full trip through Taglit Birthright via the Israel Outdoors trip organizer (Google it if you are unfamiliar).

Our journey started in the northern part of Israel, around the Sea of Galilee. We stayed in a Kibbutz to the east of the sea, hiked in the Banias, and ventured up to the fortified northern border that overlooks Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.
