You cannot just convert. That is frowned upon. Unless you are married to someone jewish, the religion is off limits for you.
Look somewhere else

Troll. This is an old and dated belief about judaism.

OP. We learn first, walk the walk, and then convert. So start shopping for a shul. Find one that works for you. Start attending, and then talk to the rabbi about the next steps.

In fact, the opposite is true. In the UK, for example, Orthodox rabbis (and the community there is mostly Orthodox) discourage conversion just for the sake of marriage because they consider that to be a weak motivation-- and one that may not stand the tests of time and inevitable tensions. It's a different story when the prospective convert can discuss a spiritual interest.

Well
Israel does not accept conversion to reform judaism. To convert and be recognized it has to be to orthodoxy and you have to spend time in Israel

Um, no, grasshopper. That isn't how it is. Clearly, you've spent less than ten minutes in Israel.

Fool.
