Introduction to me :)

Hey everyone!

My name is sam. This is my first blog ever so give me some time to get used to writing .

i'm 20 years old , born in Belgium (Antwerp), into Basketball , going to the gym and Photography.

I've had the idea of coming to israel to join the army for a long time now , but at the end of my last school year was the time that i really started seriously thinking about it. I decided to go to the IDF (Israeli Defence Force). I told my parents of my decision , they were very proud of me and told me that was the right choice for me . My parents and i got started on planning on how to arrange everything i needed and started contacting the necessary people. The first person we contacted was Yuval from the Gius . he told me to arrange some documents ( Medical document from a doctor , original birth certificate and a certificate that declares I'm Jewish).Once we had those taken care of the only this they would inform us is ' the moment u land call them and make an appointment to sign up. 

so needless to say we were a bit confused . 

Finding a place to live was hard . trying to find something in Israel while I was still in Belgium was not as easy as I thought it would be . I had no previous experience looking or renting a place to live. Let alone in a different country . 

At the end of my school career i knew i wanted to go . 

My family and i went on Holiday to Vietnam for a week and a half. When we got back we only had 2 weeks to arrange everything so it was a little tense . we Didn't find a place to live so we came up with a plan to go to israel ( Dad and I ) and visit my dads Best friend  . From there we would search the internet for apartments for rent with roommates . After a couple of hours of people not picking up or saying the Ad is not relevant anymore we got a call back . A Friendly guy called Noah asked me a couple of questions and when i would like to see the apartment , i said 'right away ' .

So Half an hour later we were looking at a very nice Penthouse duplex with 3 roommates . This was the first place we actually went to see and i liked it . Noah told us to keep looking for places because he wasn't sure if he could rent the room . so we left there hoping he would call back. exactly 4 minutes after we left he called back and asked when i could move in and sign the contract . We went back to the apartment and signed . 2 days later i moved in .
