Student of the Week – Eli

Hi, I’m Eli from Connecticut!

I joined Aardvark Israel because I wanted a year to relax and grow before starting the next chapter of my life. One of the highlights has been meeting so many amazing people from different countries around the world. I also love the program’s balance between structure and free time. Some days are packed with internships, volunteering, and classes, while other days and evenings are more chill—perfect for exploring Israel and spending time with friends from the program and beyond.

Fun fact: I have a Golden doodle named Chewbacca (Chewy for short)
