Thanks, Maya. Not sure if you're a Jewish Israeli or from a different cultural background, but thought you might enjoy my latest essay regarding antisemitism post Oct 7.

Yes, I am Israeli. in fact, I'm gonna visit Israel tomorrow! for about a month:) I haven't seen my family in over 18 months, so I'm very excited! I'm gonna write about Israel from a tourist point of view, so my readers can see how it really is.

Let me dive into your post, I'm curious!

I love how honest this is. Traveling alone takes real courage — to explore, to decide, and even to walk away when something doesn’t feel right.

Thank you so much for reading Allen! And yes, I agree, there's lot's of room to make mistakes. I believe that's why many people are afraid of a nomadic lifestyle.
