The souvenir is not in the Tangible things, but beautiful memories with good people. Before I became a trekking community and social tourist guide, I was a “Local development engineer” with a master's degree “Master 1 professional” from the (catholic university of Lyon – France). I have 28 years of experience working with farmers, women’s coops, farmers CBOs, livestock, the agriculture sector, Fair Trade, Microfinance, and village councils all over Palestine. My slogan in life is to enjoy people's visit, I try to let the guests and hosts enjoy their hick, visiting wildlife, discovering Palestinian culture, and holy and historical places, and developing friendly relationships with local peoples.
