In this very interesting webisode of Chris Dyer’s Travel Series, “The Artvetures”, he and his girlfriend Arianne explore the beautiful ancient lands of Israel and Palestine. Because of the complicated situation between these 2 countries, we decided to unite both journeys into one video, in hopes to have viewers see what is happening on the other side of the wall and help in any way to find a peaceful conversation about ending the suffering…

Chris and Arianne start their journey in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he explores the local sights and drop a fishbomb. Then they go and see all of the amazing religious landmarks in Jerusalem and the Dead Sea desert. After that they cross over to the West Bank, Palestine, to paint some murals for charity at their biggest refugee camp, Balata. They also did some explorations in the village of Sebastia and Bethlehem, which includes a stop at Banksy’s “Walled Off Hotel”. I know it’s a long mini documentary, but hope you will sit through it all to see what we learnt from such a potent experience!!
