Stunning beaches, insane nightlife, beautiful weather, delicious food, sexy people, incredible history and breathtaking sights are all good reasons to move to Israel don’t you think? Well I did! Which is why I packed my bags in 2009 and never looked back. Montreal is awesome, but Israel…Israel is just a never-ending adventure. There is always something new and exciting to discover, which makes being a Canadian Ginger living in the center of it all so f***ing amazing!

Benji Lovitt

Drawing from his own experiences as an American living in the Holy Land his unique and hilarious perspective towards Israel create a valuable wealth of humor which has brought smiles to faces of people all over the world. His standup comedy has been seen in person and online by viewers in Israel, the US, and around the world, and his improvised videos and hilarious blog entries have been featured in publications such as the Jerusalem Post, Ynet, PresenTense Magazine, the Jewish Daily Forward and Israel21c, among others.

Arsen Ostrovsky

Shalom there folks! My name is Arsen and I just moved to Israel, making Aliyah from Down Under (ie, Australia). Won’t lie – had something to do with the stunning beaches, incredible Tel Aviv nightlife, the breathtaking landscape & awesome food … and well … the even more awesome Israeli girls! Ok, ok, so it may have also had something to do with this little thing called Zionism too! So please join me on my Aliyah adventure, as I explore this beautiful country through Instagram!

Sis Timberg

After long years spent in Vienna, I am back in the white city of Tel-Aviv. No more Schnitzel for me, bring on the Mediterranean delights!

A fanatic cultural creature, fashion lover, social media junkie and last but not least- a passionate Lomographer and a sucker for analogue film. I click everywhere to capture beautiful analogue moments of Israel to spread the word of Lomography.

Favorite rule: “Don’t think, just shoot!”

Jono Kalles

I was born and raised in Montreal and have lived there my whole life.  I used to practice law but I got bored and I decided to turn my passion for Israel into part of my career.

I started travelling to Israel as a kid over 25 years ago, but my work has allowed me to travel to Israel on a regular basis, having visited 20+ times in the last 8 years alone.  One of my favourite passions is exploring the Tel Aviv “scene”, and there’s nothing I love more than discovering new Tel Aviv restaurants and checking out the hottest nightlife spots afterwards.

Walls, Squats, Abandoned buildings, Timeless Areas, Sunrises, Flashlights, Paste ups, Stickers, Stencils. And most important of all – a smell of a freshly sprayed piece.

My name is Daniella, an architect, armed with a decent enough camera. Bringing you a live, radical, creative and surprising scene.

Maor Murphy

Shalom there! My name is MaorMurphy, a young man from the Netherlands who fell in love with Israel. A few months ago, I discovered instagram (better late than never) and became a little obsessed, but I think I’m pretty good at it, considering all the LIKES I’m getting. So… I decided to bring together my two obsessions, Israel and Instagram. I was asked by SDM to document my time in Israel through instagram, and that, I will do! So from now on, i will do my best to show you the most beautiful places in Israel, the things that keep me busy here and the things I love about this country.
