About Me

Originally from a small town in the north, I am currently living in a very nice part of Jerusalem (Nakhlaot) studying Islamic studies in the Hebrew University and working as a hiking guide, doing outdoors activities and weekend camping trips with teenagers.
Being originally from the north of Israel, living in this fascinating, cultural labyrinth of a city feels like being abroad in my own country, and always I enjoy exploring it and discovering its secrets, by myself and with friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked across Israel alone, sleeping outside all the time, not once using anything other than my feet to move around.

Performed magic across Asia (too many stories to write here...)
