I Never Want to See Israel Again

It’s the only country on my anti-bucket list.

I went to Israel for a few days in January 2015. The weather was wet and miserable, the hostel was wet and miserable, and I was wet and miserable. I had one enjoyable experience during the entire trip.

Floating in the Dead Sea. It was surreal. It looked like water but it felt like jelly! I could have stayed there much longer but tour buses wait for no man, (or woman) and our guide would have happily left me behind, accidentally on purpose. If you want to read more details of this dreadful trip, here’s the long version.

It’s quite a long story but must be worth reading as it has 2695 claps, 79 comments and has earned me an incredible $1,447.43 so far! Apparently, it was controversial, but it wasn’t meant to be. It was my own personal experience of Israel. Readers either agreed with me or violently disagreed.
