Greetings. I'm Elana and I live in Jerusalem with my 9 year old daughter Liel and my partner Avichai. I moved here from the US in 2012. I love meeting open hearted people from around the world and welcoming people to this special city.

The most beautiful things I've witnessed in my life are the many ways we show kindness to one another and I'm grateful for the opportunities to be able to share what I can.

I like to spend my time connecting to people, reading, studying, drawing, practicing Kung fu (baguazhang), cooking, juggling, letting music carry me away, listening to people’s stories, surrounding myself with trees.

I split my work hours between life coaching and teaching martial arts to children battling cancer with Kids Kicking Cancer.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and hearing their stories, the perspective shifting that occurs when someone invites me to see the world through their eyes. I like sharing my home with people.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

People tell me I have a very different way of seeing the world. I'm great at deep listening and helping people connect to what's going on inside them. Would be delighted to share this with you.

Basically I want to know something about everything. Can you teach me?
