About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"because I would still believe in the humanity, also in his spirit, strong spirit" (Shaul Tshernihovski)
Hi! :)
I find myself more often in a struggle to write about myself, so allow me to write from the place I love the most - the people in my life.
Filling our life with variety of souls, surrounding our self with people we love, care about, dream and develop with, is more then our right but (for my point of view) our obligatory to live a fulfillment and meaningful life - essential need for the human being freedom and happiness.
I live with two friends of mine, making our relations stronger and supporter. keeping on environment of good vibes, accepting, challenging and joint creation. they are big joy and faith in my life.
My work is... no I don't want to call it like that, and I can't completely agree to call it "what I do for my living", because it's not the right perception. What I do in my living is to educat youth (and hope that even more) in a small community settlement located at the Galil (north part in Israel). we are not talking about school but on the non-formal education - all the activities after they back from the institution that corrupting their soul. I'm a member in zionist-socialist youth movement that seeks to put the human in the center and educate for equality of all human beings and peace. Part from that is to be in a crew of other educators like me (and different as well), by knowing that every educator needs to be educated, share his experience and feelings, listen, develop, learn, to be helpful and rely on others.
I don't have to ask myself, "Why am I living my life" to know that life is full of opportunities. And when sometimes they are hidden from view, have to remember, to desire.
However we have to remember, our actions have consequences, history does not want the good of mankind and not necessarily the best situation we got is the best we could get.
Understanding and sanctification of human values - we are equal and deserve to life (and moreover freedom), knowing processes are not created but people creates them - we have to see ourselves responsible for improving the world as a society.
You can often hear me say that we should try everything once, and good things twice :)
Live adventures, parties, new experiences, amazing conversations and other wonders with so many incredible people.
For me, to visit a new place and to travel, is a new adventure. I walk, watch, listen, try, check, eat, drink, feel, smell - Stimulate all the senses.
I don't believe in quick results, there's a reason why everything in nature is a process.
Trail of images makes up the life and I just follow my heart, my mind, my soul, to fill it up. Fill it up for "Hagshma Atzmit" (true meaning), pursue justice, spread love, enjoy pure happiness, truly belive in humanity - never remove my look from the truth.
I'm ready for this adventure - and keep it on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My Brothers and I playing volleyball with two polish sisters and three ukrainians, on Eternal beach in Sri Lanka. The golden sand find is way between our fingers, and front of our eyes interpreted an infinite ocean. The sun sinks into the water as a grate fire ball, painting the sky in layers of red, orange and yellow. A young women dance with hula hoop along with guitar sounds of her boyfriend, which port the silver strings as a revolutionary. I feel so peaceful and strong. My mom lying on the beach, draws boundless energy from the world. My dad looks into the sunset soul, his shoulders relaxed, and although I can only see his back, on his face stretched look of satisfaction and pleasure - I just know it, I can feel it...
Well that was a good old srory from the past, I like it so I'll keep it haha ;)
If you ask me about amazing thing I've done so Idefinitely need to tell you abut "The Israel national trail". 1000 km of incredible landscapes, people, terrain, friends and experiences, stretched between north and south. I was walking the trail with three friends and I got to say it was the most meaningful journey. You can read more here, it's a review I wrote:

Teach, Learn, Share
How to have an amazing life and stay alive :)
(But seriously, I can't squeeze myself into compact slogan)
I am open to learn (almost) everything...
What I Can Share with Hosts
In the most abstract way we can offer you a place to sleep. We got a double couch open to a bed and another long couch. beside of those we may share our beds but I'm doubt it will happens often because it can be including intimacy and we are individuals with feelings (I'm sure it can be understood).
One of my friend is a student for psychology and special education, and the other one is graphic designer, so basically most of the time there is someone at home, but still we can be busy. If we got the time we would like to spend it with you and even if there is a good connection, to change plans and drift away (we are spontaneous).
Of course we can also just meet, hang out and talk, but we will need to set it first...
If the wind will whispered, stars will shine and we will meet, we won't gonna hide our personality and truth. Come with love, come in peace.
