Before coming to Israel, I had expectations — but what I experienced surprised and shocked me in ways I didn’t expect. In this video, I share 10 things that genuinely stood out to me while travelling through Israel, from daily life and culture to food, safety, cost of living, and the contrast between cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. As a Black traveller, I also reflect on how people treated me, the diversity I witnessed, and how normal life continues despite the tensions people often associate with this country. This isn’t a political video — it’s an honest, personal look at Israel through my own experience on the ground. If you’re curious about travelling to Israel, what life is really like, or how the reality compares to what we see online, this video is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro: What Shocked Me About Israel 01:05 – How Normal Life Feels in Israel During the War 03:20 – The Hospitality I Experienced 05:15 – The Weekday / Weekend Confusion 07:10 – The Cost of Living in Israel 09:45 – Tel Aviv vs Jerusalem: Two Very Different Worlds 12:30 – Safety in Israel (Even During Conflict) 14:40 – The Diversity in Israel 17:00 – The Food in Israel (What Surprised Me Most) #IsraelTravel #TravelDocumentary #MiddleEastTravel #TelAviv #Jerusalem #TravelTruth #WhatShockedMe #CulturalDifferences #SoloTravel #TravelExperience #TravelVlog #HiddenIsrael #TravelPerspective
