ABOUT ME

Dear Friends,
My name is Eytan Harif, 73 years old,
I left Israel this January[It was 2012] for my second trip around the world. Within the next year, I will visit over 15 countries in 3 different continents – Africa, North and South America, and Asia.
My previous journeys were more about nature and local attractions. This time around I would like to focus more about the people – exploring the local culture, folklore, cuisine and customs.
A little about me and my family:
My formal education includes Accounting, Economics and Business Management. I was also the owner and manager of several companies.
Many years ago, at the age of 31, my wife was diagnosed with cancer. This event gave me a completely new perspective about life – I stopped working almost completely, and dedicated my time to take care of her and my young children. At that chapter of my life, my family and I traveled together for several months in the US with a mobile home, and also went on a long trip around the world.
Unfortunately, only a few months after that trip – 24 years ago – my wife passed away. Ever since, I have spent my time taking care of our children, who were 4 and 12 years old at the time.
When the youngest son was 16 years old I went on a second trip around the world for 9 months and this only made me want to visit more and more countries
Today, as my children grew up, I could find the time to fulfill my long lost dream and begin my next long journey.
At the end of 2021, my partner Yael is retiring[65] and we let our house for 3 years, We rented a small apartment and we plan to go on trips around the world together during these periods.
We hope that as a part of our journey We will be able to meet you, get to know you and share common interests with you.

PHILOSOPHY

live and let live, peace for every one in this world
