About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and to learn and to experience

ABOUT ME

I have grown up in the beautiful, peaceful New Zealand. My mum is from england and my dad is from israel, so i have grown up traveling to these countries every two years or so and on the way would visit other countries - this is what sparked my passion for travel. I love the oppotunities my parents gave me to see the world. meet different people, see amazing sites, learn histories and eat a variety of freaky foods.

However, I have now left the clean, green image of NZ and have exchanged it to the urban, concrete jungle of New York City!

PHILOSOPHY

"Some people feel the rain, while others just get wet"

A great quote from the legedanry Bob Marley - one that I like to live my life by. Get out there and experience what life has to give you. Take every oppotunity that comes. Be open minded. Don't judge. Be kind. Have fun - even if it is pouring with rain!

Peace, love and happiness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wouldn't know where to start! Got stuck in the elevator up the Eiffel Tower, free falled for 60 seconds while sky diving, partying at music festivals with my friends, walking the Brooklyn Bridge at night, climbing Mt Tongariro, crawling inside one of the Pyramids of Giza, walking the streets of old Jerusalem, smelling dried fish in the fishing villages of Hong Kong, looking at the amazing defeat of ruins in Tah Prom... I could go on!
