About Me

about myself :)
My name is Ben and im 21 years old. Just finished my first degree in Mechanics and Electronics! (finally! ;))
I've been to the east (China, India) and did a a euro trip last summer (July-August) and im looking forward for seeing new places and countries!
Traveling, meeting new people and making long lasting friends is something I like doing - and couch surfing is a good way :)

**Want to Skype (or anything close it) before being hosted or accepting a traveler**

You can say im a 'beginner' in the field of couch surfing - im really looking forward for hosting and being hosted!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to see a new city/country is by the locals. Except from the fact that its a good way the save some money - you see the city through the eyes of a local. The real night life, markets and know your way around the city - its the best way to know from the locals.
Meeting new people and making long lasting friends through this experience is also one of the main reasons I want to couch surf. Over the years I've hosted some friends (and friends of friends) from abroad and every single time we had a great time and a lot of fun.

Interests

Sports such as swimming, running, hiking, biking, surfing and etc are a on my every day schedule.
On my spare time I work, read, meeting friends and do some sports.
When I go abroad I like to see everything: museums, nature (hiking), parks, monuments, palaces, markets, bars and pubs - everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen many different kinds of music that I don't even know their names... hip hop, classic, reggae, jazz, indie and etc..

The same goes on movies and books. I've red and saw so many that its very hard to mention one specific movie or a book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did an euro trip for almost 2 months across Europe with a friend - amazing time!
and another eurotrip for 40 days - one of the best experiences I had!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many skills I learned through out the years.. Cooking some Israeli food (such as Shakshuka and etc..) and more.. I think im a great companion to travel with :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, China, Croatia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Italy, Macao, Netherlands, Slovenia, Turkey
