CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Asia Indepentently

ABOUT ME

I was born in 1988 in Kibbutz Yagur in the state of Israel.
A kibbutz is a village-like form of settelment, which is unique for its people socialistic way of life and economoic sharing method.
For a kid it was a great place to grow up in thanks to the greenery, the large play spaces and outdoors and the rich culture.
For many years I was a competitive swimmer, and I still love the water environment today.
Traveling, and being outdoors at generall played a very important role of my growing up years and my addiction for hiking will never heal for that.
After finishing high school, and before going to the army (as all Isralies are obliged)I decided to voulanteer for one year at being a tour guide and working in educational project in the south district of Israel (the Negev desert). There, in a tiny community in the desert called Nitzana, my bond with outdoor activities, education activness and the desert itself was tighten up.
In the year 2008 i was recruited to the army and served in several different jobs there, and finished as liuetanent.
Nowadays, i'm planning an insane trip to Asia with my friend Yotam, hoping to experience new horizons...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not such a great philosopher, but I believe life can always be good, it's just a matter of view point: you can either live what you love and pay the prices of it or work in things ou don't neccecerily like in order to have fun some of the time.
