101 dingen te doen!

Hallo lieve Nederlandse mensen,


Ik heb een lijst gevonden met 101 dingen die je in Israel moet hebben gedaan en omdat ik wel even de tijd heb hier is mijn missie om alle 101 dingen te proberen! WIEHOEE, ik zit vol adrenaline nu en ik wil meteen alles uit proberen. Uiteraard hou ik jullie op de hoogte, als jullie een hartje ergens achter zien staan betekent dat dat ik het heb meegemaakt!
