EAGER ISRAEL
On Tel Aviv:
“My love affair with Tel Aviv started from afar. I had visited this complex, vibrant micro-metropolis on the Mediterranean just a handful of times before deciding to relocate for the foreseeable future. Tel Aviv was the one place in the world where I wasn’t looking at my watch or thinking I was ready to leave. Its Fikus tree-lined streets are dotted with cafes, restaurants, bars and cultural oddities that are hard to describe, and may not even make sense, but that is the beauty of the city. The contrast between urban and sea; Levantine and Middle Eastern; Jewish, Muslim, Christian. Local & foreign. These characteristics create a city that can be as beautifully described like an excerpt from Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Tel Aviv is either 20 years in the past or 20 years in the future. Its outdatedness mixed with super-high-tech culture makes for a city of the present. For that reason alone, it is worth a visit.”
EAGER DESERT
Eager Tourist guides visitors from abroad to the hidden gems of this majestic land, replete with a distinct language of art, architecture, culture, cuisine, wellness and overall creativity of its own. This “negative city” -- as monolithic as the skyscrapers of Manhattan or the Fjords of Norway -- ensnares intangible life source and oozes an uncontrived aesthetic of mud, rock, rickety wood and heat-scorched flora. The desert offers connection through disconnection. A belief in its powers can only set you free.
EAGER MEDITERRANEAN
With its serene and undiscovered Mediterranean beaches that remain warm through the winter months, Israel’s 100+ km coastline is rife with gastronomic gems, spiritual sites, natural wonders, inspiring creatives and artists, and living examples of coexistence and collaboration amongst Israel’s diverse populations. Within this stretch of Mediterranean bliss lie historic beach communities, high-end accommodations and delectable restaurants that rival the world's best -- yet still remain unknown to most tourists.
