Why I created the “TRAVEL & DRAW” book series My two biggest passions in my life are drawing and traveling! Furthermore I love to constantly learn new things, to explore the world and discover the amazing places in it, the special animals, nature and getting to know people from different places. So far I’ve managed to visit in many countries around the world and learn new things every time, experience exciting and unforgettable experiences adventures and try things I wanted to experience for the first time. That's how I got to swim with whales, to dive with sharks, to climb coconut trees, to start a fire with nothing but wood, to witness the northern lights and the midnight sun, to eat local foods and exotic fruits from all kind of places, to see many animals in their natural environment, to surf, to swim, to fly, to sail, to cook, to touch to taste and to simply try new things. It makes me feel so excited that we live in such a fascinating world in which there are so many things to discover and explore. I decided to share the experiences I collect along the way with people around the world by creating books , performing lectures, courses, workshops in many places, and various information products. I decided to do it because of my desire to preserve the world, to show people how important it is that we protect our planet and treat it with respect and tenderness. This is how the writing of this book series started and is in fact the reason I decided to draw all the characters I meet on my way and teach you how to draw them with the help of my drawing technique “DRAWING EASILY”. This book series will introduce you to wonderful places which you can visit too and meet special people I met along the way that will be happy to have you as guests in your upcoming visit to Israel.
About The Red Sea - Eilat The Red Sea is a seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia. I visit there almost every year. It is a rich and diverse ecosystem. More than 1200 species of fish have been recorded in the Red Sea, and around 10% of these are found nowhere else. The city Eilat is one the best touristic attraction in this area and I highly recommend you to visit it when you come to Israel. This book is just one of my Travel and Draw books. I wrote a few books about Israel and I decided to do so with the cooperation of the local community, businesses and institutes which have an interesting story or are working for the benefit of the community and the preservation of the environment, the animals and nature. For this reason, I decided to include in the book recommendations on some of the people I got to know, places I visited and special attractions you can explore when you visit Israel or even remotely – through the internet. I hope you will enjoy this book. I’d love to hear from you and receive personal comments about the book, some of the drawings you have drawn using this book and suggestions of places you want me to visit for my next books.
