Travels with E (Day 1)

26 July, 2022 – Today, E left for his trip to Europe and Asia. It is a trip he’s planned since he started saving his Bar Mitzvah gift money when he was 13.

In spite of the struggles, hazards, and hardships of the Israel trip in 2017, and because of the success of the Spain trip in 2018, he has proven to himself and everyone else that he can do this. You can see the determination in the pitch of his body, as he walks.

That’s 6 months’ worth of belongings in one backpack and one small personal cross-body bag.
