Visiting Israel’s Red Canyon
I became aware of this place because of an instagram post. After seeing the post, I asked Igal if we can go to it on my next Israel trip. He wasn’t aware of the place but he was also interested to see it. I went back to Israel in August 2018 and stayed for five weeks. Of course, we followed through and paid the Red Canyon a visit. Going to the Red Canyon Our day of visit to the Red Canyon was quite eventful! Our itinerary for the day included a quick stop at Ramon Crater (Makhtesh Ramon), which is what was initially entered on the Waze app. However, on…

I learned that there’s a chance to book a…

My October Love Affair with Israel (A Two-Week Vacation)
According to Passport Index, the Philippines has a Visa-Free Score (VFS) of 61 as of October 2017. This means that Philippine passport holders can visit 61 countries/territories either visa-free or with visa-on-arrival, one of which is Israel. Passport Index’s consideration is comprised of “193 United Nations member countries and 6 territories (ROC Taiwan, Macao (SAR China), Hong Kong (SAR China), Kosovo, Palestinian Territory and the Vatican) for a total of 199”. Coming from the Philippines – a country that is comprised mostly of Catholics, a visit to Israel can be considered fortunate. When you say Israel, most Filipinos will think “pilgrimage”. Who wouldn’t want to visit the Holy Land?? And…
