On foot

Before Shirley and the Scoopy, there was a backpack. I started exploring trails in Israel as a teenager and took my first solo trip at 15.

At 17, I walked the Israel National Trail from south to north. Two months on foot, carrying around 15 kilos on my back.

The Golan Trail, Sea to Sea, streams, desert trails — finding somewhere I hadn’t been became a hobby in itself.

This is where being outside, moving through a place slowly, and figuring things out for myself became part of my life.
