6 Things To Know About TEL AVIV

**I made this video 3 years ago, but only shared it to Facebook...so I wanted to post it for all you guys here on YouTube! Please excuse the fast paced editing and shaky camera -- I was a newbie back then**

Hello from Israel/Palestine!

This was the very first destination that I visited overseas back in 2009, as a freshman in college. It's crazy to be back, 113 countries later, with fresh eyes and new perspectives.

Tel Aviv has changed A LOT from what I remember... I see loads more skyscrapers, electric scooters, trendy cafes and (unfortunately) skyrocketing prices (seriously, it's like Paris prices... think $8 for a coffee)

Here are 6 more of my observations from the last 2 days exploring Tel Aviv.

Have you ever been to Tel Aviv? Do you agree with my thoughts?

For Americans:
Tel-Aviv is like NYC with LA's beaches.

Tel Aviv is a very diverse city and it's one of the things I like about it. I'm Filipino but I lived in TLV for a year. I loved trying different kinds of food from Jewish diaspora -- Yemeni, Iraqi (sabich!), Iranian (ghormeh sabzi that tastes the same as what you'd have in Iran), Moroccan, Libyan, Bukharan, Ashkenazi American, Ethiopian, Syrian, Kurdish, Venezuelan etc. I didn't realize how diverse the Jewish community is. Palestinian food is also delicious (maqluba, mansaf, knafeh are my faves) as well as food by the local Druze community. There is also a large migrant worker and asylum seeker population so you'd find food from all over the world. Some areas in Tel Aviv Central Bus Station feels like the Philippines.

My brother lives in Israel. Tel Aviv is truly one of the coolest cities I've ever been to.

Hatikvah! I wish to go to Tel Aviv when I am old enough to go.

[EagleEyedSheLion]

I LOVED Tel Aviv and know I will go back one day

If you visit Tel Aviv, be sure to also check out Jaffa, right to the south! Tel Aviv started out as a suburb of Jaffa, and Old Jaffa feels like the Old City of Jerusalem by the sea.

Drew you restore my faith in humanity ❤

[madmonkee]

Tel Aviv doesn't quite have NO history. It contains Jaffa, which is historic (and there's an archaeological site at that museum in the north).

[אוהדאריאליופה]

could you travel in the south of israel, mitzpe Ramon, eilat, timna park, metzada, the red Kenyon, ain gedi, and more... this area is often underrated among travelers.

[saharlavee]

I live really close to tel Aviv, I go there with my friends all the time, I've traveled the world and I haven't found yet a better city for hanging out

[Hakunamatatagetonthedance]
