CURRENT MISSION
Helplessly hoping.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in a Kibbutz in Israel and moved to Jerusalem when I was 19.
I lived in the Hague, Netherlands, from 2012 to 2015.
I'm usually quiet and shy. (But) It doesn't mean that I have nothing to talk about...
"We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies"
PHILOSOPHY
"In a society that has abolished all adventure, the only adventure left is to abolish that society."
