Hey,

I'm Assaph, 25 years old from Israel.
Currently working in a startup company, working on my Master's and planning future trips.

I've been traveing for a while - long treks (1000km in Israel), weekends in different capitals in Europe and a long trip through South and South-East Asia.
Recently finished a month in southern Africa.

Note that I usually have a few free nights in a week but it's hard to know in advance which ones.
So please message me about 3 weeks before you arrive and not before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love this city and love showing people around.
I want to create unforgettable memories :)
Be it by laughing unstoppably over a beer, dancing our legs off in a club or sharing ideas about culture and politics.

I've been very lucky during my travels to meet awesome individuals who've entered me into their homes, gave me a hot shower and much more (lookup The Israel National Trail Angels).
Looking forward to pass it forward :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel stories

I recently started activism through the internet, so I can help if you're looking to affect politics with only a smartphone

I can make basic Israeli dishes like Shakshuka

I'm happy to explain on the complex issues of the Israeli Palestinian conflict and offer insights about world politics
