About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hitchhike my way up patagonia (Chile and Argentina), trek, meet amazing people and perfect my spanish

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in a kibuutz (a unique way of community living based in Israel) in the western galilee in the north west part of Israel.
I currently work in avocado plantations and I also run the local pub on the kibbutz.
I am a laid back and friendly kind of person who enjoys the nature and especially hiking it.
I really enjoy new people from all over.

PHILOSOPHY

The whole reason I joined couchsurfing was the opprotunity to meet other people from other parts of the world.

I believe in the goodness of other people which I've encountered before and I want to continue this great tradition of helping each other without any money involved in it.

Interests

I really enjoy anything about history, hiking, music and sports.
I live in an area with the best humus places in Israel, and also it's 5 minutes from akko and 5 minutes from the beach as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite band is pearl jam but I'm also into other classic rock especially from the 60's and 70's.
I like reggae and some electronic music as well.

I love reading about history, especially 20th century, and lately I've been reading a lot about the cuban revolutenary war.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked across Israel in the Israel trail which goes from eilat in the south to mount hermon in the north, it took me 2 and a half months and I met so many great peolpe a long the way that made this a very memorable trip.
I totaly recomend it to anyone who wants to see for themselvs how beautiful this place is and to meet the most kind people you'll ever meet.
