CURRENT MISSION

To succeed in my new work as a tour guide

ABOUT ME

Traveler at heart, as of a month ago I'm officially a Licensed Tour Guide in Israel, so if you know of anyone who's planning a trip please let me know. I'd be happy for the oppurtunity :) A dreamer, thinker, music lover, book collector, always enjoy meeting other fellow travelers, outgoing, love the outdoors and hiking, love spicy food, chocolate, lazy mornings with a cup of coffee, I love hanging out with friends at pubs, but sometimes would prefer staying home with a good book/ record/ movie. At times a bit shy and at times an enthusiast talker. Love to share a beer with you and a good chat.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, live and let live. Don't judge people by the title they wear on their nametags, but by who they really are. Don't wear masks or hide behind the masks you wear.
Life is a road, not a destination.
Modesty is a virtue.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Can give you a tour, introduce you to some cool, touristic and less touristic places, take you hiking in and around Haifa, show you some cool spots not mentioned on tourguide books. I'll share a beer with you and discuss anything from local food to even(!)local politics. I love literature and can introduce you to some great books. I love languages and would love to learn as well as help. Will share everything in my kitchen, and offer a ride inside the city if public transport ain't satisfying enough, when I'm available.
