Come and discover the Historic Old City of Jerusalem with me! My name is Avi and I'm 32 years old. I was born in California but I´ve pretty much lived in Israel most of my life. My hobbies are History, religion and nature and I look forward to sharing my experiences and knowledge in a fun easy-going tour😄
