We invite you to read this fantastic article (below) written by journalist Uwern Jong and featured in the current issue of OutThere Magazine (of which Uwern is also editor in chief). We had the pleasure to host Uwern in Israel for a day last September for a trip from Tel Aviv to Akko on Israel’s northern Mediterranean Coast. If you are interested in any of the services he mentions in the article, or any other ‘outside the box” ideas for touring in Israel, drop us a line!
