About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have fun, and then some more fun. meet new people. and live this life in the way they should be lived

ABOUT ME

I'm moving to Edinburgh this August to start my MSc in Outdoor education...looking forward to this experience!

I want to go to new places.
I want to meet new people from all around the world.
I want to see caltures I Haven't seen yet.
I want to climb a mountain i haven't climbed yet.
The Bottom line - I want to have some new experiences. Into the outdoor stuff. Be out in nature.
do some good stuff.

I grow up in a Kibbutz in Israel, and Finished my B.A. in Jerusalem, where i've lived for 3 years.
In the middle i've spent some time living, working and traveling all over the world.
i've decided to get some time off, and go traveling. looking for new opportunities and new directions.
I've been in New-Zealand for 6 months, and can't wait to go back there, spend some time in Thailand, and a few months in Europe, crossing the Alps (one of the most amazing adventures i had in life).
In the last 3 years I've been living in kibbutz Ein-Gedi, next to the Dead sea, working with teenagers, and studing Wilderness Therapy.

PHILOSOPHY

"You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion.
Then, when you're no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself.
This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway.
To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountains which sustain life, not the top."
