CURRENT MISSION

Figure myself out - one country at a time!

ABOUT ME

If I had my way, I would work for one year, travel for three months, and so on. But, well, I don't (yet), so when I'm not slaving myself in the corporate world, I'm dreaming of escaping from the rat race.
There are countless places I want to visit, but I will also go to Israel time and time again.
I love children, and look forward to meeting my own in the future.
I'm drawn to all art forms, but have come to accept that I have no talent whatsoever (I mean, to artsy things - I can still draft you a hell of a contract!)
Love my friends, and was blessed with a handful of those that are really hard to find.
Have my regrets, but I'm working at not adding new ones to the list.
Quick-witted people with a sense of humor (all kinds really, black, dry, sarcastic...) are really up my alley.
The passage of time worries me, but I will still sleep in given the opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I could be more involved than I am right now.

Interests

Visiting new places and meeting new people that otherwise I would never meet; listening to people's love stories (I will be the one that asks a couple how they met); reading and listening to good music (both great subjects for passionate discussions); having said discussions over some drinks (preferably beer, maybe some wine); eating great food with people that are not worried about their weight, and who also have a sweet tooth like me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is difficult to pinpoint an amazing thing in particular, but I have so far been blessed with these experiences, in no particular order: I have climbed Mt. Sinai and watched the most amazing sunrise ever; did a felluca trip around the Nile for a couple of days; fulfilled a childhood dream by watching a whirling dervishes ceremony; laughed uncontrollably during the free fall part of a parashoot jump; was humbled by the overwhelming experience of ballooning over Cappadocia; and marvelled at the monuments in Petra and all over Egypt (and suffered terribly with the heat while at it).
