About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Dig that hole, get the sun..."

ABOUT ME

Where do I begin?
Well, I think the first thing I should mention is that I LOVE music! and as much as music I love life. Just as it is.
I grew up in Mevasseret Zion which is a small (approx. 25,000 citizens) community, a 10 minutes drive to Jerusalem and 45 to Tel Aviv. As I said music is a main part of my life. Listening and playing the guitar. I also love travelling, tracking and camping. I consider myself very open-minded person and willing to hear, try , participate, taste and doing almost anything new. I also read a lot and see a lot of movies though I barely watch the T.V.
I enjoy much a good talk as well as a good party or spending time in a good bar or in nature on a track near a campfire.
I'm moving to live in Zefat for at least the next 4 years at October 1st. I have a great appartment with a cool roomate and a cat, sweet balconey and great atmosphere.
I hope it's enough. I'll try to remember updating this once a while..

PHILOSOPHY

Where to start?

Open-mind about anything. Not judging someone or somthing untill I've done, met, seen or tried it myself.
I'll try to keep myself happy and satisfied in any situation and overcoming any challenge.

A sentence I like-
"Happiness is true only when shared",
Into the Wild.
Gifting. This great value I experienced most at Burning Man festival and is part of me and my life.

I have a lot of personal philosophy about life and more which I'll prefer to share face to face and not by the web.

Interests

As I wrote before, music, movies, books, tracking and travelling and experiencing new things. If to be more specified, about music I love a lot of kinds starting with rock. Old rock from 60's 70's. Bluesy hippy happey. But rock. On it's all kind even Metal. Also Israeli music, and even some classic and jazz a bit.

About movies, tracking and books I wo'nt expand just say that they all also a main part of my daily life. I love all movie genders from Holywood (best and classics) through Israeli and to foreign movies. Books, I read a lot and not only one specific kind of literature. As for travelling I visit the springs near my place at least once a week and travelling the whole country now and than as well as abroad. I hiked Israel's national trail and crossed country Israel for 2 months from north to south along approx. 1000 km trail :)
I'm also interested in photography and have a nice SLR camera. Cool hoby!
