Yuval guides and teaches throughout Western Europe – France, Iberia, Germany, Scandinavia, and the British Isles – all while acting as a popular expert for National Geographic in the Holy Land. His focuses in Spain and Portugal range from architecture to history and gastronomy, with a special emphasis on the peninsula's unique identities: the Romani, the Basque, the Galician, and the historical Jewish and Muslim communities.
Born in Jerusalem, Yuval spent his youth exploring both his homeland and the adjacent continent. His books include a retelling of Finland's mythology, a travelogue of the American South, and novels rich in geography and cultural heritage.
