About me

Residing in Modiin, a city nestled between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, I bring over 35 years of experience living in Israel. Born in Antwerp, Belgium, I am fluent in English, French, Dutch, Hebrew, and Yiddish.

For 30 years, I worked in my familyโ€™s diamond business, traveling extensively overseas, which enabled me to connect with different cultures. Realizing an old dream, I transitioned to becoming a tour guide to showcase our beautiful country and its diverse cultures to the world.

I studied Tour Guiding at The Tel Aviv School of Tourism and have guided both large and small groups over the past several years.

I am a food and wine enthusiast, dedicated to maintaining a healthy lifestyle through jogging and mountain biking. I also have a deep love for history, interesting books and movies. Above all, I cherish connecting with people.
