Hi there, my name is Yuval, but my friends call me lluvia. I have been traveling the world alone for several years now, and after a break in the Corona period, I am so excited to return to this love of world travel! Things you should know about me? I like to meet new places, usually non-touristy, love animals, dogs person, I like to get to know new music, dance (I am a great leader) and get to know new cultures. Nature is the place that feels most comfortable and relaxed to me. My goal is to keep love to travel and get to know people from the countries I travel to. Hope to see you soon!

Solo travel experience
I went there for my first solo trip recently, had the best time. I kind of did it cause I have family there, so it was less scary to go on my own, but still a great place to venture out. I stayed in a great hostel with lots of events, so it was easy to meet people too. I truly enjoyed it.
Solo travel experience
I just went in July and loved it! Some of my favorite things: Jerusalem (highly recommend, can be a day trip): - Western Wall (make sure your knees/ shoulders are covered) - Old city - Church of the Holy Sepulture - Via Dolorosa - Western Wall Tunnels tour - Yad Vashem (Holocaust Memorial) - Tower of David Museum (they also have an awesome light show at night) Tel Aviv: - beaches - Palmach Museum - Museum of the Jewish People - Day trip to Haifa (Baha’i Gardens are gorgeous)
Solo travel experience
Israel is a very safe country. I bought their Rav-Kav card (for the public transport) but ended up walking all the time. In Tel Aviv I do suggest not walking at night especially the area close to Hahagana train station and bus central station, nothing happened to me but I felt indeed uncomfortable walking in the middle of the night. As for Jerusalem, if you want to visit sights, definitely cover up. Otherwise they are quite used to tourists that wear shorts and tops. I was never out alone in Jerusalem, but it felt super safe during night (I was staying close to Yehuda Market).
