About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Do see and Feel as much as possible in the name of learning and experience!

ABOUT ME

We are an active and friendly couple who love meeting new people. Ray enjoys doing art(she paints and draws), playing music ( she plays guitar, accordion and sings), and swimming. She moved to Tel Aviv a few years ago and loves this city! Yotam enjoys going to rock concerts, studying the chemical composition of teeth, doing scientific experiments, learning about archaeology, and building things. He's 100% Israeli with great English and insatiable curiosity. We both like reading, running, gardening and biking along the beach.

We're almost always up to grab a beer, coffe, whatever and we welcome surfers with open arms.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what feels right.
