CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking and WWOOFing myself around the globe.

ABOUT ME

Taking an extended vacation from professional life and exploring the world. First stop was Israel, currently in the Republic of Georgia, and gearing up for Greece (first stop Rhodes).

Volunteered for one month with an Israeli family on their mango plantation.

Currently volunteering in a hostel in Tbilisi, Georgia, where I am the innkeeper.

I enjoy backpacking slowly from place to place. Taking in the sights and smelling the roses.
