“Be proud of your choices you take , not of the talents you have’’

The decision I have taken in order to be a community trekking guide does not come out of nowhere. I chose a path full of responsibilities towards my country to present a real idea about Palestine. I wanted to learn more about my country in order to be rooted in my mind. I am so lucky to live in Palestine because of its marvelous nature. Palestine beauty is rooted in the biodiversity that you can see when you walk through The Palestinian Heritage Trail.
