I've just recently moved to the UK, and have been living and working on Tyneside since February 2017. I'm originally from Israel, and also spent a good portion of my youth growing up in the United States. I spent a few years living in Budapest, Hungary, where I attended medical school and trained as a doctor.

I originally moved here to be with my partner at the time, and although that didn't work out, I've since really fallen in love with Newcastle and the north east. It was a bit of a culture shock at first, especially learning the Geordie dialect, but having previously moved around a lot throughout my life definitely made the transition a bit easier. The fact that people here are extremely friendly and generally welcoming also helped quite a bit. I'm currently a hardworking member of the NHS, and look forward to completing my training here as a junior doctor so I may better serve my community.
