My
Guiding Style
All guides have personal styles. Below are some of my core beliefs and practices. Above all, I believe in passionate guiding. The day that I can't bring on that energy is the day that I'll hang up my (wide-brimmed) hat.

Versatility
The ability to adapt to your changing needs and a dynamic environment is key to a successful tour.

Perspectives
I will always strive to present multiple perspectives and ideas faithfully.

Each and every tour will be catered to your wills, whims and wishes

Curiosity
An itinerary should be ambitious, yet allowing to stop and get a deeper look.

Immersive
Whenever possible I will make us part of the experience and more than mere spectators.

Being Attuned
I may get paid to talk, but the real job is to listen, thus anticipating your concerns and questions.

Flexiblity
The most enhanced experience is attained by modifying, improving and improvising.

Goal Orientated
The driving force of the itinerary will be your needs and goals.

Divergent
The beaten path may be experiential, but off of it can be life-changing.

Challenging
I truly believe in enhancing any tour with challenges: educational, physical, spiritual and other.
A little more about me...

Serving my Country
I proudly served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a combat soldier in the armored corps, and volunteered with our local police force.

Cycling
I'm an avid off-road biker.
I have taken part in inaugural single-track events, but the most rewarding was the grueling ALYN charity ride.

Building Bridges
I hope.
Thus I participate in interfaith/cross-cultural dialogue with Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims.
