Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Home-bound at the moment so allow me to travel vicariously through you!
ABOUT ME
Born in Haifa, Israel, moved to Toronto, Canada at the age of 7, and moved back to Israel in April, 2014. I love the vibrancy and excitement of life on the Levantine coast, the sun, the fruit, the people, etc., etc. My passion is history and this year I'm starting an MA in historical conservation.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
No specific travel plans yet, so I'm only hosting. I'd love to meet interesting people with stories of exotic locales. I don't discriminate but I'd especially love to host French and German speakers because those are the two languages I'd like to learn. I have a spacious apartment in Haifa's bohemian neighbourhood of Hadar, and if you don't mind spending a bit of time with me here and there to teach me a thing or two, I don't mind hosting long term surfers.
