"Hello. I am a colleague, doctor, musician, and tour guide.
I grew up in Tuscany, Son of Israeli parents. From childhood I loved to travel, to host, to guide. Family members from Israel and other countries would come to visit us: we would host them in our home in Florence and I I would guide them in the city and out of town and accompany them on trips throughout Italy. I received a certification and continued to guide even when I was a student at the music academy and in medical school.".
