Haifa Travel Blogs

This morning, we headed to the Tel Aviv train station and took a train up to the port city of Haifa.  The city of Haifa exists from the base of the biblical Mount Carmel all the way to the top.  We found our hostel, dropped off our belongings, and headed into the city.  Looking at a …

Note to future travelers to Israel, going to Haifa is TOTALLY worth a side trip up.  There are directions in English so it's not too hard to figure out. It's a town on a big hill but the beach is just gorgeous. The train literally lets you off right in front of the beach an…

Well I know it has once again been quite a while since I’ve put anything up on this thing, but I’ll try to go over some of the happenings that have gone on. I went on a tour of a snack factory for one of my classes the other weekend—one of the best field trips ever… probably because there …

Perhaps the main reason I decided to go to Israel was to visit the various Israeli mates I met on my travels. Where ever you go on holidays, it seems that you will almost always encounter an Israeli backpacker somewhere. I have met many on my travels. I travelled with the lovely Lihi and extra…

Haifa is the largest city in Northern Israel, and the third-largest city in the country, after Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It is also home to the Bahá'í World Centre. Haifa is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa.

My two (very short) weeks romping around Israel in search of adventure, good vegan eats and kindred spirits :P

In 2005, I spent a total of 3 weeks in Israel. The first two weeks were to volunteer with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and the last week was for sightseeing in Eilat on the Red Sea, and in the capital Jerusalem. I wrote some hurried emails off to friends and family when I got internet cafes, and this is a mildly edited collection of those emails along with some pictures I took then.

Aujourd'hui j'ai rencontre la Palestine. Elle n'etait pas tres grande, elle etait toute menue, legere. Elle avait de grands yeux noirs en amande et un large sourire. Elle portait un koffieh noir et blanc, fierement. Elle chantait des chants d'amour nostalgiques et des chants patriotiques joyeux. E…

My few travels all over and my friends

people say there was a war there.. i haven't noticed.

The journey to Israel appealed to me for reason far less pious than I, sometimes, am willing to concede. Most simply: I went to reunite with a dear friend who had, by equal parts choice and chance, settled there. After eight years apart from her, I took the plunge. And it was, rewarding beyond measure, to our friendship, and,to me as Christian.

We took the bus out to Haifa. Haifa is the largest city in Northern Israel and the 3rd lagest  city in the country after Jerusalem. It has a population of approx. 265,000 and is located at the mediterranean sea in the bay of Haifa, a Seaport. The city is built on the slopes of the histori…
