1999. Beer-Sheva. I was invited to “Cool People in the Hot Desert” — Hubert Burda’s idea, German and Israeli internet founders, researchers and investors, brought together at Ben-Gurion University to spark something. I went. I kept going back for years after, running workshops with students there. We visited the Weizmann Institute and other places like […]
A Non-Human Way to the Gate Today marked my first international trip with real visa stakes — Germany to India — and something quietly strange happened along the way: I made it from check-in to gate without a single human interaction. Not one. Boarding pass? Machine. Passport control? Machine. Bag drop? Machine. Every checkpoint, every […]
The Nomad is a growing collection of stories, fascinations, encounters, observations, lived moments — and the quiet (and not-so-quiet) joy hidden inside them.They’re all rooted in my life, wandering freely between places, people, questions, and unexpected turns. Many of these stories eventually find their way into The Nomad — others insist on staying a little […]

Its rugged hills roll into untouched beaches, where wild horses still roam freely and sunsets paint the sky in deep orange hues.

This encounter took place off the east coast of Sumbawa, near a vibrant reef close to Banta Island, halfway toward Komodo — the land of the great monitor lizard, the Komodo waran. It was in March 2025. We were aboard a small motor yacht, just the two guides and me, our snorkeling gear glinting in […]
March 5, 2025: The early morning began in Labuan Jambu, at the north coast of Sumbawa, a neighboring island of Bali, Indonesia, where the sea stretched out like polished glass beneath the rising sun. There was barely a whisper of wind, and our small boat seemed to glide rather than move. We went out to […]
Bucket list? Smashed. A dream came true. I always wanted to swim with the dolphins – the slick, smiling acrobats of the deep blue. Their constant, knowing grins feels like an invitation to join their underwater rave. This week, I got my golden ticket, and I dove in. With every splash and flip, I embraced […]
A few days ago I posted something about Fremantle – where I currently stay – on Facebook. After that, Michael Barker, the editor of @fremantleshippingnews connected with me and we did an interview. Here is the link and I also posted the entire text below. Before you start reading, here are some feedback from people […]
