Inspiring!

My time in Hebron was inspiring. Each day, I’d head to the center around 9:30 a.m. and spend my time visiting local radio stations and media organizations in Hebron. These field visits were incredible for meeting people in the industry and getting a firsthand look at Palestinian media.

I also took Arabic classes, which were a huge help in building my conversational skills. My teacher was amazing, every lesson was fun, and I learned so much. Even though I’d studied some Arabic before, these classes really boosted my confidence with the language. Before coming here, I’d heard mixed things about safety in Palestine. But from my experience, it’s been nothing but welcoming.

I felt safe walking around alone, even at night, and the locals were incredibly kind. I first visited Palestine on my own in 2019, and I felt just as comfortable now in Hebron. If you’re considering Go Palestine, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a chance to learn, connect, and experience a beautiful, welcoming culture firsthand.
