I am interested in people, and how they live, what interests them, how each of us tries to make sense of our world. I care deeply about our planet, our future as a species and how to end all war.
I am a professional potter, and love making things.
I like to cook, simple recipes, maybe wholesome.
My friends think I am funny and opinionated, yet also flexible and spontaneous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet all kinds of people, and have guests and be a guest, it's one of the main reasons I like to travel!
I want people to meet all kinds of Israelis, It actually is an interesting country, (much more than what is seen on the news...) with real people trying to be good people and make a difference in their country and world.
People can visit us and see!
We live on a small farm, not really agricultural anymore, but we grow a lot of fruit and vegetables in our garden, I have my pottery studio near my house, and we are a 15 minute walk from the mediterranean beach.
