About Me

Hey there! I'm Yaron - a 26 year old Melbournian embarking on a one-way trip around Europe and seeing where it takes me.

I am an extremely artistic and passionate person with many hobbies and interests. One of my goals in life is to study, learn and do as any different things as I possibly can. I'm very easy-going, polite and friendly person and up for doing anything that will give me a new experience.

My future lies (hopefully) somewhere in the film industry. My current qualifications/hobbies include: graphic designer, director, cinematographer, screenwriter, digital artist and storyboard artist.

I've travelled a quite a bit around the world, and love meeting people from different countries and cultures and learning new languages and making new friends.
