I am an Israeli native who chose the travel industry for a career, as my family and I relocated to the U.S. in 2006 to start the next chapter of our lives. During the three decades that I lived, worked, and traveled throughout Israel, I experienced and learned so much. Now, as a long-time travel professional in the U.S., I use that valuable knowledge and expertise to recommend Israel to my clients eager to enjoy and experience what this amazing country has to offer.

Among my many varied travel passions and favorite destinations, the two that top my list are Israel and South Florida.

First, Israel. For over four decades, I've had the incredible opportunity to visit, explore, and enjoy this historic and beautiful country. In fact, I consider Jerusalem my second home. Now, I want to share Israel with you. I want you, too, to become immersed in the historic, cultural, and recreational aspects of this ancient destination. I want to share with you the extreme contrast between experiencing such holy sites as the Old City of Jerusalem as versus the cosmopolitan, 24-7 atmosphere of the seaside city of Tel Aviv. And that's just the beginning of all that I will share with you about this very diverse, world-renown destination.

South Florida. Truly, I live in vacation-land in Fort Lauderdale and the fun is endless! As a long-time nature and photography lover, South Florida has become my playground of sorts.

In my 25+ years in the travel industry, I have been fortunate to have traveled all over the world and experienced many incredible destinations, but none have captured my heart - and my attention - like Israel. My first exposure to this historic destination was on a private tour when I fell in love with the country and the Israeli people. Seeing first-hand the historic sites that have been in existence since time began, was a life-changing experience. I returned home filled with a passion to share all the wonders Israel has to offer, and to help people experience this incredible destination. Having visited Israel multiple times, I know and understand what t takes to plan and execute a seamless and memorable journey - whether for individual travel, faith-based groups, multi-generational families/friends, etc. - I can design and implement an itinerary that will not only meet, but exceed, your expectations.

First of all, I love Israel. I love the people, the food, the culture, and the customs. Jerusalem to me, is like walking into history, and my Bible coming alive. Jerusalem is the holy site for all three monotheistic religions. It’s more conservative, quiet, is inland in the hills, and it gets cold. Tel Aviv is an exciting modern city, more laid back, lots of cafes, restaurants, galleries, theatres and clubs… and it’s a coastal city with a temperate climate.

What I love best about my exciting career in the travel industry is the opportunity to explore this world as an active adventure traveler and to experience - in depth - one of my favorite destinations: Israel. Now, I'm eager to share both with you!

Someone said Italy was a passion, I call it an obsession. Traveling to Italy at least twice a year for the last 12 years has truly made me an addict. In addition to trying to explore every corner of Italy, I am an Israel specialist as well. Born in Israel but with an Italian heart, I love to share my insights, knowledge, and experiences in these two countries. From enjoying the "hip and trendy" Tel Aviv to experiencing the North region where you'll drive through Arab villages and see - first-hand - how the Jews and the Arabs live together. Take a jeep excursion with the head of security at a Kibbutz who will take you on a journey where you will meet with Israeli soldiers on active duty. From skiing in the Dolomites to sunbathing in Puglia, the passion I feel for Italy comes out with each conversation.
