My Autobiography
I was born in Israel on 5th May 2005 in Haifa, which is a
city in north Israel (where my parent's family is from). I
lived in Haifa until I was 4 months old, when my
parents and I moved to Poleg. I lived there until my
brother was born and we moved to Gibraltar, a tiny
oversea territory of the UK in the south of Spain. We
lived in a flat near the Mediterranean Sea, and waved
to the cruise ships as they parked near the building. My
best memories of Gibraltar are the gigantic Rock, the
airplane runway (which planes, people and cars are
allowed to go on) and Main Street, the biggest
shopping street in Gibraltar.
I left Gibraltar in June 2012 and moved to London,
where I lived in Highbury, in the South Stand of the old
Arsenal stadium. My most cherished memories of
London are going to watch Arsenal play, seeing the
Christmas lights in Oxford Street and Ambler (my
primary school).
In November 2014, I moved to Berlin, right when they
celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Mauerfall (the
Fall of the Berlin Wall). We lived in Prenzlauer Berg in
East Berlin, and I learned German. My most fond

memories were going to the Mauerfall, the magnificent

bakeries, and the many trips we took while we were
living in Berlin.
In April 2016, we set off on a once-in-a-lifetime cross-
Europe trip. We visited a total of 22 countries in 4
months. It was the most amazing thing we have ever
done. My favourite places were Iceland - where we
spent a week travelling in a campervan around the
country, Greece – where we went to the Acropolis in
Athens, and Ireland – where we went around the
country and slept in a B&B. We finished the cross-
Europe trip in Israel, where we spent 8 months living
with my grandparents.
In April 2017, I moved to Malta. I have made friends
and I got used to life here.
I'm looking forwards to more adventures ahead.
