Artist Statement I started my travel's at the age of 22 which I consider to be quite late in life.
I guess the fact, that I didnt travel when I was young, only made the travel-bug, that all travellers will attest to, more severe (in my case).
My Travel priorities will usually center on going to places that either have a completly different culture, places of great landscape, experiencing a natural phenomena or places that I was fascinated by as a kid. Off course, with food comes the apetite, and as I, and any other traveller, have discovered - new travel ideas are always coming to mind, even while travelling.
Travel CV
(Living in Israel)
March 1998 - Weekend excursion to Jarash, Amman and Petra - Jordan
May 1998 - September 1998, A week in Bangkok, Thailand; and then a "grand" tour of Australia and New Zealand
October 1998 - July 2001, A student (of Political Science & Sociology) in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. While at it, I worked a couple of student jobs, was elected to the Student union, had a weekend in break in Prague, Czech Republic (during year 1) and lead a student delegation to North Ireland (end of year 3)
August 2001 - April 2002, an Unemployed post graduate (well had the occasional temp job but nothing that paid the bills), with that said during October 2001 - November 2001, 2 weeks in Spain and then a 2 week dash accross Europe (from Spain to Milano, Italy via France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland & Austria) with the help of a 14 day rail card.
(Living in UK)
August 2003 - Present, live in London, UK; London, a city contesting for the title of "World Capital", a city of many ethnic backgrounds, many languages and cuisines, many museums, shrines, landmarks, palaces, a city that is home to 5 (at the moment) of 20 premiership football clubs, a couple of Rugby clubs, 1 famous tennis venue, and much more. London will also host the 2012 Olympics. Then Again - London is also noisy, smelly and dirty.
While in London, I was employed by the Carphone Warehouse and completed my Masters degree in E-Business in Birkbeck college, the university of London. I have travelled to various locations in the UK (Wales, Scotland, The Lake District, Cornwall and more), and I have also learnt to take advantage of London as an International travel hub. I've "chased" the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) in Iceland, Norway and Sweden (where I was lucky at the 3rd attempt). I've been to Classic europe in the form of Germany, Hungary & Poland.
Finally (and more recently: Sept 09 and then Nov-Dec 09), I have been to the United States (and crossed the Atlantic Ocean for the first time) and soon after that went backpacking for a month in South America - Patagonia (which is a region in the southern parts of Argentine and Chile). It was a fantastic time.
