ABOUT ME
I was born in Tel Aviv 1970.
Growing up I was somewhat of a �Tomboy�. Always looking for adventures.
When I was only a couple of years old, for example, I jumped out of a window to the family front yard and left by myself to explore the neighborhood. For the next few years, if you couldn�t find me, tree tops and rooftops would be a good place to start looking.
Sure, so I gave my parents a scare once or twice, but since I always came back unharmed I've been recognized as a responsible, independent person. A label which I honorably carry to this day.
One of my favorite holidays growing up was �Purim� (the Jewish equivalent to �Halloween�). Over the years I got to be a multi-cultural girl; I was Japanese, Red Indian, Dutch and more.
I wonder now if my fascination for other countries was formed back then.
One thing for certain- my curiosity sure was.
When I was a little girl my mom wrote me something I�ll never forget:
�To the sweetest and naughtiest girl of all, wishing you the world in whole.
Because anything less, as far as I know, will not rest your mind at all �.
My travels, however, were limited to Israel until my graduate year of high school, at which point I saved enough money of my own to step into the big world for the first time. My first destination was France. Paris is a great place to start.
The next couple of years, like every other Israeli girl my age, I spent serving the army. As I hoped for I made it to the Airforce and for the most part I had a good time.
A few months after my military service was over I was already backpacking.
With an around the world ticket I visited as many as eleven countries from east to west over a period of one year. A most memorable one too.
Fascinated by the Far East in general and Japan in particular I focused my studies on these subjects.
A couple of months before graduation I started working as a flight attendant for the Israeli airline �El-Al�. 5 years of living out of a suitcase and loving it.
The world was made smaller and I paid my way to see it by serving hundreds of coffees and teas�
coach, business and first class.
This job gave me the opportunity to visit many places on the globe and I exploited it to the full.
