I happen to have some of the greatest parents in the world.  While most of my friends desperately sought i-banking and consulting jobs during their senior year of college, my parents simply said, Go.  Enjoy yourself.  Enjoy life.  Take some time out for yourself.  Come back fresh.  You have the rest of your life to build a career.  For now, have fun.

So while many of my friends have thrust themselves into the real world, I have spent my summer vacationing in Tel Aviv.  No wake-up calls, no work, no responsibilities or commitments.   Life's a beach, quite literally.

Despite appearances, I have done more than simply sit and stare; those adventures are  detailed here.  Enjoy :)
