Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a total of about 8 couches and have met up with another few couchsurfers for drinks and sightseeing. So far, I have been able to host only one couchsurfer, who stayed for a few days with his parents. It was a wonderful experience that I enjoyed very much - without CS i would have never had the opportunity to host 3 amazing Pakistani people and show them around while getting to know them. I currently don't have a comfortable place to sleep, but will host again when I can! And I'm usually up for a drink (or two) :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've surfed couches in france, portugal, and japan and have met many different people, of which i became close friends with a few and still keep in contact with them! so far, all my couchsurfing experiences have been more than amazing. i enjoy to meet different people with a similar mind-set of opening their arms to the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hiking through the woods in Yakushima, a small island in the south of japan, i will never forget the impact of those 3000 year old trees - amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

teach learn share - being a half israeli boy who has mostly lived in the netherlands and has been immersed in the japanese society as a teenager, i believe i can share my experiences and teach about the cultural differences and similarities that these three different cultures have, and also their languages. also, i used to teach maths and chemistry to high school students, so if you need my help... let me know! ;)
