MONTGOLFIERE

After returning from France in 2014, my desire for movement and exploration persisted. I spent my days in the enchanting Ponds Valley, where every morning began with glimpses of hot air balloons gracing the skies. Inspired, I joined the Israeli Hot Air Balloon Festival team, documenting the annual international festivals held from the southernmost to the northernmost points of the country.

The journey was nothing short of spectacular. Meeting balloon pilots and crews from around the world, known as Montgolfières (the French nickname for hot air balloon enthusiasts), introduced me to the boundless opportunities for adventurous, easy living.
