Shalom 😁
I am Avidan, nice to meet you.
I live in a very beautiful and special city called Haifa. I am a Social Worker, a Community specialist. I work with old people and also just started my own company which offers advanced services in that field. I love my work!
In general I am a very pleasant human being, a gentleman. I like to do good for others and make them feel comfortable and joyful beside me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to meet new people and to make new friends. I love to host and to be a local guide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my Practicum in Social Work studies at the University I treated a young wonderful woman with Multiple Sclerosis. It was very challenging and interesting. It took some time for her to have trust in me and benefit from our relationship. At the end of the year we succeeded to get her start working in a job that was suitable for her limitations and needs. It was her chance to get out the house after many years of living with fears and a sense of unfulfillment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about the life in Israel, a little on Psychology, some about Social Work and probably some more topics that don't come up in my mind just now.

I like to learn about almost anything. I am very curious and open minded.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to share my home with you, my friends, my thoughts, my ideas, my inspirations...

It will be great to share my interests (as described above) with you. To share my familiarity with beautiful Haifa and the holly land in general: the best places to go to, the most interesting events and experiences.
