About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become closer to understanding this life

ABOUT ME

I have a degree in Plant Sciences from The Hebrew University. I'm also certified to manage tours abroad as a guide. I have already worked for a couple of years and I specialize in Central Asian countries.
I used to work as an avocado farmer before my studies and just after I decided to go for a long period,
across Asia for 10 months and finished my trip in Hong Kong. For me the best way to travel is off the beaten track and if I can be somewhere visually beautiful it would be even better. I can spend my whole day getting around, in search of new things. I'm life-loving person, really into cultural exchange, meeting new people and sharing my life perspective with them. As I see it traveling is about feeling like someone else for a short time and the view is just the decorations for my thoughts. When I travel I do my best to meet local couch surfers. On the other hand, when I'm at home hosting is a hobby and love by itself.
