Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelling France with my beloved Lital.
ABOUT ME
Happy childhood + Depressed teenagehood = Mixed adulthood.
Traveled eastern+southern Africa after university; Lived in Cape Town, then Amsterdam, now in Tel Aviv area, with my spouse Lital who is a (mostly fashion) designer;
I'm supposed to be witty and creative, though easily distracted, and youthfully still searching for some bits of myself. My last job was a security integrator, My most recent "dream" was to create satirical bids.
PHILOSOPHY
"Wonder rather than doubt is the root of all knowledge." -Abraham Joshua Heschel
