About Me

Welcome to my page! My name is Daniella, and I can't wait to show you around Israel :)

​

I am originally from Houston, Texas, but Israel is my adopted home. Although I wasn't born here, my sense of belonging has always been attached to this place. And because I chose to make Israel my home, I believe I have a unique perspective to share. As a young immigrant, I can relate to your life, while also showing you something new and entirely special.

​

I became a tour guide in order to share my combined love of travel, education, and the land of Israel. I have a B.A. in Middle East History and Government & Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park, and an M.A. in Middle East Politics from Haifa University. I have years of experience working in Jewish communal settings and the in the educational tourism industry, including with MASA, Birthright Israel, and Onward Israel. I have a deep understanding of the geopolitics of the region and the diverse reality of Israel. I love to expose travelers and tourists to the multiplicity of narratives and real life stories that make up this tiny country. 

​

More than anything, I LOVE to travel. I have been to almost 40 countries, many of them as a solo traveler. My favorite thing is discovering new cultures and food, languages and lifestyles. My experience as a traveler myself makes me uniquely prepared to give YOU the best experience possible! 

​

These days I live in Jerusalem with my husband, and we enjoy spending time hiking and camping in nature, or just finding hidden gems in our city. I hope to meet you soon in Israel, and explore my beautiful home with you!
