I have always loved nature and animals.
I grew up in a town (now a large town) surrounded by “wadis” (valleys), history and antiques.
Even when I was a child, I remember bringing home all sorts of animals. I felt sorry for: turtles, snails, kittens and dogs, also all kinds of reptiles. (Luckily my sons were not like me, probably my mother had a strong heart …)
I liked to show all the new places I discovered and I was curious about everything.
The love of nature, the animals and the hikes, is still rooted, and since then I have scoured our tiny and beautiful country along and across and taken countless pictures.
I have 2 lovely big boys who are very proud of me.
When friends are searching for an idea to go on a trip or to restaurant or a site they come to me for ideas.
When I discovered that I could expose more people to the places in which I travel, by publishing here on Google, I began to photograph differently.
In other words, in addition to the usual photograph of my friends, I photograph more landscapes with different and interesting views on purpose to upload them to Google.
I also began to explore the world outside Israel. When I saw how many ‘views’ my pictures got, I tried to learn what people like to see and to photograph and recommend accordingly.
My favorite is to get to a place that is not on Google and add a brand new site/photo.
It’s exciting. When I get a positive answer form Google I’m totally excited.
I’m no longer young, (on the way to 59) and I’m thinking about what to do when I reach retirement so that I can also help others from my experience draw joy from doing it and trying to do it right.
I like to advise and recommend show things a little differently - and it certainly takes time to plan and carry out my thoughts.
I manage to bring friends to the same sites over and over and each time to show them something different, learn new topics get updated and also check new places.
I’m “in diapers” still a baby, so, I want to go to California to meet more friends who love and want to contribute to the world, to learn from them how to do it and teach them what I’ve already experienced.
In addition, I want to be an ambassador for my country which is small but beautiful and contains everything.
Snow in the north and desert in the south. Streams, springs, fascinating landscapes and of course a huge history that touches almost everyone.
The trip to California is an opportunity that comes to me at the right time I begin Chapter Two and look forward to an exciting and full-fledged beginning.
My greatest satisfaction is when friends come back with positive experiences from what I recommended to them with a different perspective and share their experiences.
This is the first post I write, I’m very excited and I hope that this is just the beginning and that the excitement will not end …
With great love for everyone
