ABOUT ME

Grew up in Israel, in a big city - Tel Aviv. traveled the country a bit, did high school and all this boring stuff. went to the army at 18, just like all Israelis. it was.... well, at times great fun, at times hell. cest la vie! after finishing, i went traveling in India and Nepal. that trip changed me and was really amazing. but then i had some time till uni and wanted to go to Europe.. well, i liked it so much i didnt go to uni! :) so after 9 months touring Europe, 6 of them in Barcelona (Best city ever), im going to my next destenation - USA! starting my trip at NY and moving down down down... till mexico! wish me luck.. Maybe ill see u on my travels!
