ABOUT ME

Funny, curious, at my happiest when i find something new I can relate to, have an itch to explore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfed while travelling in Asia, hosted in my old apartment in Jerusalem.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in India, China, Russia, France, the USA, Jordan, Malaysia, and Turkey. Was continually impressed what a great tool it is to meet interesting and friendly people.

Interests

Bouldering, hiking, biking- both for innercity transportation in my native Jerusalem and on mountain trails, frisbee, experiencing other religions and cultures, eating - trying new foods, especially in India and China, were definitely important parts of my travelling, learning what makes people around the world laugh.
