Who exactly is this 'Joel Cohen' Bloke?

Joel Cohen, gap year extroadinaire, will be in Israel from the 28th August untill his 10 month course is up and he runs out of money. He will then return home to sunny sunny Watford before going off to University, prehaps to study Politics.

He created this website in oder to document his travels and experiences, voice some grievances he has with the world around him and keep everyone back home up-to-date on his goings-on.

Armed with a lomographic camera and a slightly vandalised laptop he intends to take Israel (and the world) by storm.

He has interned and written for the online magazine Spiked Online and is former co-editor of the Queens' Focus. He has also eaten the world's largest burger!

 

He is currently reading: Frank Furedi's Politics of Fear: beyond left and right
