Hey! I'm Alon, 24 years old from Israel. Currently traveling with Yael across New Zealand and Australia. After I traveled three months across Canada, Both of us decided to fulfill our dream and book a flight to New Zealand. So obviously if we are in such a beautiful place there's no chance we wouldn't take a gap year and enjoy every moment of it. So we can't wait to meet new people , know new places and host when we'll be back home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I finished a two months summer camp in Ontario, Canada as a counselor and I had three weeks around Vancouver and Vancouver Island with my good friend Ohad. We knew about couch surfing, and went for it for the first time in Victoria, BC . We didn't know what to expect, but we NEVER expected it will be so good. Since then we were couch surfing for the whole trip, and it just made the trip ten times better. I had my best conversations, met the nicest people and I've just enjoyed every moment couch surfing. I recommend anyone I know to be a part of this community.
