A note from Naomi H
“Born in Jerusalem Israel, has a BA in music and is a certified tour guide from the "Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel". I love traveling and hiking! I love traveling around Israel: the beaches, the desert, the mountains, the amazing historical and archeological sites. I also love traveling the world, I have been all over Europe and last summer I even went hiking in Kyrgistan and Uzbekistan. Jerusalem is a true gem! I hope you enjoy the game!”
