I truly enjoyed every minute of living in Israel and immersing myself in this culture. It was amazing to be able to walk only 15 minutes and be at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Or to walk right out of our apartment building and grab a cup of coffee from Cofix on the way to my internship every morning. Melanie, Onward Intern
