I was born and grew up in East Jerusalem, and right now I study medicine in the West Bank.

I love meeting new people, learning about other cultures, and learning languages. I am particularly interested in the Korean culture and I have been learning it slowly over the course of a few years.

I believe in peace and human rights, and I volunteer for an organization which works to help end the interfaith conflict in Jerusalem.
Totally against all sorts of discrimination (:

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk a lot about my field of study- medicine.
I also can share stories of me growing up in the diverse city of Jerusalem, what it meant to me, how we perceive "occupation", and how this experience lead me to joining a peace organization.
I'd love to learn about other peoples' stories, language, and culture.
