She thought for a moment, smiled and said,

"Well, I love relaxing on one of the gorgeous Tel Aviv Beaches -

I really love ending a fun day by dancing the night away at, for example, the Cat & Dog club, one of my favorite night spots."

I smiled and nodded in agreement. I love life in Tel Aviv and its casual Mediterranean ambience.

Life here inevitably revolves around the sea. My husband and I often have a delicious typical Israeli breakfast at the Mandarin beachside restaurant.

Twice a week, I walk barefoot on the soft and sandy beaches with a friend or go bike-riding on the seaside Promenade. It runs almost 10 miles (15 kilometers) from the old Jaffa in the south up to Mandarin 'Hof Hatzuk' beach in the north, just 5 minutes from my house.

We met working at a hi-tech company, as do 10% of the working population in Israel.

Nathalie is single, I am married to an Israeli and have 2 children, but that didn’t stop us from becoming fast friends. We left the company looking for a life change, and that’s how the idea for this website was born. Instead of promoting hi-tech products, we decided to use our skills writing about something we both love.
