Christmas 2018: General information

Welcome to my blog on my hike on the Israel National Trail or in Hebrew Shvil Israel.
I decided to take two month off in March and April 2019 in order to do the Shvil Israel.
Background information on the Shvil:
https://www.israeltrail.net/ or https://www.israel-trail.com/
I am 47 years old, married since 1997 and have 4 kids. I am working in an Automation company.
I am a friend of Israel. My objectives for the Shvil are the following:

• a Sabbatical, some reserved time for me
• coming out of the work system, doing something completely opposite
• getting to know the country and the people of Israel better
• experiencing Israel in spring - up to now I was mostly in summer
• visiting a lot of friends on my way - and getting to know new friends

Regards
Manni
