About

My journey began at the age of 23, when I decided to quit my office job as a weather forecaster in “channel 10 news”. Like many Israelis after the mandatory army service, I bought a flight ticket to Nepal and India, and embarked on a 7 months trip.

This was a life changing journey and a beginning of a new lifestyle.

For the first time in my life I climbed mountains, crossed rivers, took public buses in foreign countries, tasted new kinds of food, met interesting people from all over the world, learnt so much about myself and other cultures, and most of all, dared to follow my heart.

In that very first trip I began doing photography. It quickly became my life passion and profession. Today, I can not imagine myself without the camera.
With that camera I crossed the United States by foot on the Pacific Crest Trail, walking from Mexico to Canada, 2660 miles. The camera often led me where to head next on several journeys in Africa and America.

My name is Gil Gofer, and I’m a traveling photographer and adventurer.
Today I live in a van, a mobile space I built together with a friend. Together with nature and the inspiring and challenging roads, it is my ultimate home 🚐 🌎

I invite you on my journeys.
