📝 My Story:
Exploring the streets of Tel Aviv feels less like visiting a city — and more like becoming part of its heartbeat.
From the moment we stepped outside, there was life everywhere.
People laughing over coffee, stray cats lounging in doorways, music floating out of windows, colorful street art around every corner.
No matter the hour, the city felt awake — buzzing with energy, happiness, and that laid-back, coastal magic that only a Mediterranean city can offer.
One of the best ways to experience Tel Aviv was hopping on a Tel-O-Fun rental bike.
The bike paths are amazing — smooth, wide, and they run all the way from the heart of the city to Old Jaffa along the Mediterranean Sea.
Riding with the breeze in our hair, passing beaches, street musicians, and bustling outdoor cafes — it was one of those perfect travel moments.
Later, we mixed it up and rented Lime scooters — those easy, bright green electric scooters you unlock with an app.
Zipping through the promenades and quiet side streets on scooters added a whole new layer of fun and freedom to the adventure.
We could stop at street art murals, discover hidden cafes, and even race sunsets along the shore.
Everywhere we turned, there were stories happening —
Families playing in parks, sunset volleyball games, spontaneous street performances.
Leza and I stopped often to soak it all in — her joyful spirit made every small discovery feel bigger and brighter.
Tel Aviv wasn’t just a city to explore — it was a city to feel.
A city that invites you to slow down, speed up, and just be.
