My name is dafna (22) , born and raised in israel :)
After i graduated high school , i did a year of national service were i guided teenagers who came from broken families. then i drafted to the i.d.f and served there for two years.
Now i'm traveling in the far east: i have been already in india , mynmar and now taiwan .
After i finish my travels i plan on returning home and studying to become a social worker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'v been traveling for six month already , some of the time with friends from home and sometimes with people that i met during my travels .
Occasionally i find my self looking for more authenticity and meaning on my trip by hiking thru villages and sleeping at many home stay's. recently i felt that i need to try something different , that i need to get out from the tourist bubble and my comfort zone as well.
I believe the best way to accomplished this and really get to know the history and experience the culture is threw couchsurfing .
P.S
This is my first time traveling alone and i would love to have some company ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my travels i visited the lost tribe of sons of Manasseh in Manipur (a province in north east India) who claim to be descent from one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Throughout their exile sons of Manasseh continued to practice Judaism just as their ancestors did and i had the opportunity to celebrate our holiday of Hanukka with them.
i orgenized programs for 60 kids in order to help them celebrate like we celebrate in Israel .
