CURRENT MISSION Launch my Travel vlog! Here’s what’s up so far: https://youtube.com/@insightfulNomad https://insightfulnomad.com/ ABOUT ME I worked for the last 5 and a half years as a news correspondent and anchor in Israel. I've now decided to quit my job and launch a travel vlog/blog, with an emphasis on the history and culture of the countries I visit. That's why I need you, you legend of a host, to learn about the untold stories of your country, so I can create unique and epic content! PHILOSOPHY Find a life mission and let that be your master structure that you build step by step. But take it easy! It's a marathon, not a sprint...
Interested in Bars

Fluent in English
Learning Arabic (North Levantine)

One Amazing Thing I've Done

Teach, Learn, Share
Since I live in an area of the world in great conflict, I think it is crucial we always look at both sides of the conflict, check the facts and the evidence and be wary before we make statements and condemnations. Do not judge people by their religion or ethnicity, only by their actions and respect to others
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can tell you a lot about the behind-the-scenes of the news industry. Filming and editing of reports. Life in Israel, and some fascinating facts about Judaism (even though I am not religious)
My Interests
I'm something of a history fanatic and I just love reading up about the countries that I visit. I really hope to translate some of that passion to my vlog!
