ABOUT ME

HI! I'm NItzan (the meaning of my name is a flower starting to bloom ❤️)
I'm a social worker from Israel, and just finished a very unique job as a activism group facilitator for young women at risk, in the past 3 years. I'm also an activist and entrepreneur in the field of women's health and gender equality in the health system. I have an NGO in Israel which I manage remotely while traveling 😍

Music is deeply connected to my soul. It makes me happy and allows me to translate the world into something i can better understand. One of my greatest passions is singing, and it helps me to feel at home no matter where I am. I'm also a passionate writer, not poems or novels, just my life experiences and my own unique story.

I love travelling and discovering new cultures. That experience of freedom-nature-people is addictive, so I try to keep on going to new journeys. So far i've visited 30 countries, a lot of them by myself. I also love being in nature with my guitar, a natural pool and good friends (and lots of food, obviously).
I LOVE animals, especially cats, and am a vegetarian for many years.

PHILOSOPHY

No mud - No lotus (Thich Nhat Hanh).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play lovely israeli songs on the guitar :)
I could share my opinions and experiences of being an Israeli citizen, or share my thoughts and knowledge on being an activist and dealing with a chronic illness.
I am very interested in hearing about the life in different countries, and also in languages. I would be happy to know a bit about your life in your home-country. And always happy to get to get to know some new good music, and taste the local food! (as long as it's vegetarian :) )
