Before I Die

I don’t like to think of this as a “list” as I believe it’ll lose meaning to the places I go to. I can name thousands of places I want to go to and things I want to do before I die however I had to concider I won’t be alive forever. I will NOT be rushing to complete these because I want to fully take in the experience of each place. I’ll be adding more as time goes by so it’ll be never ending.

You must contact me before you go to Jerusalem!!! Also if you want to get a better idea of the club nightlife, you're going to have to go to Tel Aviv as well (Jerusalem is the holy city, Tel Aviv is the unholy fun city), it's about an hour's drive from Tel Aviv.

Plus when you go, you can visit some of my friends living there! they'll hook you up, and they're good people.
