New York. Alicia Keys described it in her epic song as concrete jungle where dreams are made of, and I can’t agree more.
I grew up in Israel and lived there all my life but I have always had a dream to live abroad and see how life would be in a new country. As a traveler, my passion is exploring new cultures and seeing how people live in other places. Thus, moving to another country and experiencing that on my own was a step I had to make.
When the opportunity to move to New York came up, I…
New York City is one of the busiest, richest, most diversified, and most interesting cities in the world. There are so many different activities you can do here — from sightseeing to sports events, from shopping to museums, and more. There are more than 80 museums in New York City, some are worldwide famous, and everyone can find their field of interest. Art, Culture, history, food, entertainment, fashion — you name it, NYC has it. In some of them, you can easily spend 3–4 hours, and if you are really dedicated to every hall, it can be even a whole…
2020, oh 2020.
So much has been told and so much more will be told about this crazy year. The year that has flipped our world upside down, turned it inside-out and changed the life that we had once known.
For most people, it has been a hard year — financially, professionally, or personally (And I am not even talking about health issues and complications). I struggled with the same this year, especially on the financial side. However, as I sat down to summarize this year for The Top Ten Traveler, I was putting a lot of effort to focus…
Madrid, the capital of Spain, is a special city. I traveled to Madrid with high expectations because of the great memories I had from the other Spanish queen — Barcelona. However, a few days in Madrid were enough to see that there is no comparison here. Madrid is beautiful and fun on its own. With unique vibes, great shopping, crazy nightlife, and delicious food, Madrid was an amazing European experience.
Madrid is the second-most populous city in Europe, but it doesn’t give you the feeling of a big metropolitan. The streets of the city’s center are full of both locals…
With over 2.5 million residents, Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York and also the biggest one in size. While Manhattan keeps the crown of the most visited borough, Brooklyn is right behind it, and you wouldn’t believe all the things to do in Brooklyn.
I might be biased because I live here, but I actually chose to move from Manhattan to Brooklyn. And I did it because I really appreciated this place. It is different from Manhattan, but still has it all — busy streets and high buildings, shopping, amazing restaurants, open parks, museums, street arts, clubbing…
New England, the North-East corner of the US, has always been a place that fascinated me. The six states that make New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) not only have so much history in them, but also amazing nature, which gets even more amazing during the fall season. I have seen hundreds of autumn pictures from this area and I knew I had to see that beauty with my own eyes one day. …
Going out on a road trip (or even just a trip) requires making the right preparations and planning. And it’s not just reading. It’s building the best itinerary that will keep you satisfied when your trip is over. Then there’s dealing with the logistics, like booking hotels or renting a car. It’s also finding the best restaurants to visit in each destination, and for vegans like me, the food prep needs more attention, like always. And more.
My last road trip to New England has taught me a lot about what planning is needed, what details require my additional attention…

Copenhagen is a city that I have dreamed to visit ever since I was a child. I had no specific reason for that, but something in the Danish history and Viking culture has always intrigued me. As I grew up and read more about Denmark, my curiosity about this place grew with me. Seeing Denmark or Copenhagen ranked high…

Jerusalem is probably the holiest city in the world, and for me, It is also the most beautiful one. The three biggest monotheist religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are connected to Jerusalem. For the Jewish people, many biblical and historical events happened here. The Binding of Isaac, the city of David, and the Temples are to name a few…

Packing my bag before traveling is always a big deal for me. I have my travel packing list to make sure I won’t forget anything, but even when I know that some things are purchasable, I still want to have them with me before I travel. I prefer to avoid running between stores or buying items in the airport…
