You get to live in Israel

2

Specifically, Tel Aviv

The weather is perfect, the beaches are beautiful, the nightlife is epic, and the food is delicious.

3

Hummus becomes a life source.

And so do those fresh vegetables and natural juices!

4

You meet amazing people

Some of them will become your best friends for life.

5

You learn how to live on your own

This is the gorgeous view from my rooftop.

You become very independent on the program. Living in an apartment in the middle of a big city teaches you how to cook, clean, organize, compromise, and more.

6

You intern at some of Israel's best companies

It is the start-up nation, after all.

7

Like PlayBuzz

PlayBuzz is a social platform that enables users to create and engage with viral content.

8

You are viewed as a respectable employee

In Israel, an internship is legitimate work. There is no getting coffee or organizing files here. We are given real responsibilities.

9

At Playbuzz, interns write content for the website

I was given the opportunity to pioneer the lifestyle section of PlayBuzz. Because of me, there are now over one hundred items about food, weddings, DIY crafts, and fashion.

10

Some of my lists have even gone viral

11

The work environment in Israel is fun, laid-back, and exciting.

12

You will gain invaluable experience

My editorial experience here at PlayBuzz will forward my career, without a doubt.

13

You will grow as a person

I learned that I am ready to move away from home and enter the "real world."

14

You will explore your Jewish identity

15

And immerse yourself in the Israeli culture

Everything here is sababa!

16

You get the opportunity to travel the world

During my program, I got to explore the entire State - all the way north to Tiberius and south to Eilat. In addition, I traveled to London and Amsterdam - two places I have always dreamed of going!

17

You learn that Israel is not how the news portrays it as

It does not feel nor look like a war zone. Israel is a highly developed place full of start-ups and groundbreaking technology.

18

And finally, you find a home in Israel

I am definitely not ready for my 5 months to be over!
