Fingers crossed for you Kimmie! Where were you supposed to go?

Such an interesting question — I’ve never had more people ask me about a trip than I did have Israelis ask me about my time in Beirut! My friends in Israel are fascinated by it and dying to go — they have heard all the comparisons to Tel Aviv and the stories about what a vibrant city it is — but sadly they are banned from going by Lebanon and also possibly by Israel. Even those with a second passport seem extremely reticent to use it, as there is a lack of clarity on whether they would be breaking the law of Israel by traveling there as a citizen. I can’t find any official information on it, but so many people told me this, it’s certainly widely believed if not fully accurate.

So basically, there is a TON of interest, but also sadly a ton of tension.

They aren’t over! Remember, I was crashing with a friend on this trip — couch surfing, even cheaper than dorms 😉

These Lebanon posts are giving me ALL the feels. I miss travel so much!

Beirut looks divine.
Yes! Yes! Yes!

p.s. Keep the blog posts coming. Even though I’m a travel blogger myself, I won’t be going abroad this year but focusing purely on German travel, so your images are a godsend right now! 😀

The highest compliment <3 Though a struggle right now, I know!
