Mark Robert Hesling – UK

There must be something about Nablus that I really like because this is my second time here. I haven’t even left yet and am already thinking about my next trip here next year. At first it can seem like a large, bustling, intimidating place but actually it’s one of the friendliest, warm and welcoming places I have ever been to in my short life. The locals are embarrassingly hospitable, the internationals are great people, and the time I spent here – though now it seems like it’s gone in a flash – will live with me as a very happy memory.

Time flies when you’re having fun, but I hope it was not just that, and whilst we are here and whilst at home we can do whatever we can to help make Palestine free, and that the country can be rid of the ugliness of occupation and will be as beautiful as the people here are.
