Born and raised in Jerusalem, moved to San Francisco in 2011 and enjoying the city. I found I prefer the colder weather - I can bike all over the city and not get sweaty, I can wear coats that have lots of pockets to put stuff in... it works great.

I like being active. I go hiking often - Mount Tam, Portola and Big Basin are my favorite places in the bay area. In the winter I go to skiing in Tahoe. I am intermediate skier, so nothing fancy yet. Between those I do crossfit and dance lindy hop.

I love traveling. I started late when I was 25 to Sweden & Norway and keep going since. I also like hosting travelers - I used to host in apartment in Jerusalem. In SF my roommates and landlord guest rules make it not possible.

I am pretty independent. While I love meeting my host and going around together, I am also fine staying to myself. I am clean and respectful, and partying is not really my thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was hosted in Sweden and Norway and had amazing experience. Since then I gave back the community by hosting in Jerusalem.

in San Francisco I cannot host at the moment due to guest restrictions and my roommates not supporting the idea. I am planning on hosting the next time when I move to a new place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learnt to Ski in Italy. One day I got into the wrong lift and found myself in front of a black diamond. I found a ski instructor who took me down the black diamond by skiing backwards while holding my skis. That was horrifying and exhilarating.
