Born in Israel and raised in Scotland, Gabi moved to the USA to attend Brown University, where he earned a dual degree in Philosophy and Economics. He has taught English in the Amazon (where he ate his first insect), worked at the world’s largest hedge fund and received numerous grants for social entrepreneurship. He is a competitive powerlifter and once cycled down the world’s most dangerous road in Bolivia. He was one of only a handful of travelers in his group who remained unscathed.

The most unusual thing he’s ever eaten: “Jungle Bacon” in Ecuador.
