What a trip! As you’ve probably noticed from my Instagram, I spent all of last week exploring Israel with my family. Unlike most of my more relaxing beach vacations, this was quite the adventure. From floating in the Dead Sea, to exploring Old Jerusalem, to spending a night at a Bedouin Camp in the middle of the desert, this was certainly an unforgettable trip. The Dead Sea was one of the most memorable experiences. We covered ourselves in mud (so good for your skin!) and the weightless feeling of floating was unreal. I got to ride a camel (always a dream of mine!) and walking through thousand year old ruins was mind-blowing. Tel Aviv is a stunning city as well – super modern, open-minded, and laid back. Connecting with my cultural past was certainly the most impactful part of the experience and I couldn’t be more thankful that I was able to go. Hope you enjoy my photos and get to go to this wonderful country at some point in your life as well!

Hi, friends! I'm Amanda, founder of Advice from a 20 Something. I'm from the east coast, but always felt like a Californian at heart, so I made my way to San Francisco after college and haven't looked back. I have an irregular obsession with dogs, an oversized sweet tooth, and am so not a morning person. Most importantly, I believe we all deserve true happiness and I strive to make this transition into adulthood as easy as possible by creating (hopefully) useful content right here :).

Great pictures! It was fun following your travels over Instagram. Floating in the Dead Sea is definitely on my bucket list. I read somewhere that there are “vacations” and then there is “travel”. And the latter is where you grow the most and discover the world but mostly…yourself!
