In my previous post I told you about travelling from Edinburgh to Tel-Aviv during Covid-19 and about not being that happy about it. I was still self-isolating at the time and could’t go out and explore the city. When I realized I am indeed in Tel-Aviv and will be here for a couple of weeks, … More House of Coffee (HOC, Tel-Aviv):
Late in May me and my partner decided we would fly to Israel. At the time Israel was starting to open up, after the first wave of Coronoavirus seemed to have passed. Shops, restaurants, studios, were all up and running again. I watched as my friends got back to work, socialized and regained their freedom. … More Flying during Covid-19
As I’ve probably mentioned in this blog a few times, I love hybrid venues. They always make me feel like there’s purpose to the place, one the exceeds the love of coffee (which is obviously a very worthy purpose!). I also feel like often times these spaces are a great place to build a community … More Bikes and Coffee
As I told you in one of my previous posts, Starbucks didn’t make it in Israel. Actually non of the American or European chains (besides a few years in which “The Coffee Bean” thrived) made it in Israel. That means we have no Starbucks, Costa, or even Dunkin’ Donuts. This might be a shocking fact, … More Israeli coffee chains
One of Tel-Aviv’s biggest and most famous markets is the “Carmel” market. The Carmel market offers food, clothes, housewares, souvenirs and more. It’s a colorful, fun place to visit while in Tel-Aviv. The Carmel market is located pretty much in the city center, in a neighborhood call Kerem Ha-Teimanim, which literally translates into “The Yemenite … More The “vineyard”
Jaffa, or as Israelis pronounce it – Yafo, is where Tel-Aviv emerged from. While Tel-Aviv is a relatively new city (officially 110 years old), Jaffa has been here for thousands of years, and can be traced back to around 2000 BCE. It is an ancient port city, and though municipally associated to Tel-Aviv, it has … More Tel-Aviv’s Jaffa
A few months back, I told you about some of the gems in the northern neighborhoods of Tel-Aviv. Since, new places have opened, and since this time I will only be focusing on Florentin, it seems like a good time for an update. Florentin has changed quite a lot during the recent years. The once … More Florentin mornings
As you could probably understand from my previous post, I am back in Tel-Aviv, and will be staying here for the next couple of months. Since I will have another year or so to tell you all about Edinburgh, I decided to take a break from blogging about the UK and to introduce you to … More A Sweet(Box) surprise
So apart from being a coffee lover, a veganism advocate and a traveler, I am also a dancer, a dance teacher and a Pilates and aerial yoga instructor. My weekly routine consists of 10-15 classes, some of which are dance (both classical ballet and contemporary) and some of which are supplementary activities, like Pilates, stretch … More Pilates, Yoga and Aerial yoga in Tel-Aviv
Since I have a soft spot for sweets, and at 31 still prefer dessert to real food, and since people believe that all vegans eat is tofu and vegetables, I decided to share with you a list of my top sweet picks in the city. Before I start, a disclaimer is needed – I am … More Tel-Aviv’s sweetest (vegan)
