About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Planning my next trip and giving back to the CS community meanwhile

ABOUT ME

Hi!

I'm Doron, a 30 years old internet marketer from Israel.
I love sports (Karate, cycling, running, swimming etc.), music (playing guitar and keybord and started to learn playing the harmonica recently) and of course traveling.
I'm very outgoing and love both good laughs and deep conversations.

I love meeting new people and getting their perspective of life and this is even more meaningful while traveling.

I've been traveling in South America since February 29th 2012, getting back to Israel on February 2013.
I'm looking forward to meeting locals, sharing experiences and learning more about the place from a local's eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that each person's life perspective and behaviour is determined by various factors, like environment, culture, education, family, genes etc., and this is why trying to see the world in other people's eyes helps a lot to broaden your horizons.
I also always make an effort to have my point of view on various topics flexible because there are always things I don't know which can affect my perspective and I believe that being open minded is one of the most important factors for personal development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had the pleasure of meeting a lot of people in South America through the couchsurfing website and now when I'm back home I'll be happy to meet other travelers and help with accommodation when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a lot of locals in South America through Couchsurfing and now when I'm back home I'm doing my best to give back to the community by hosting and meeting travelers and providing travel tips whenever I can.

Interests

Sports - Karte, cycling, running, swimming and more.
Music - Rock, Pop, Blues, world music (Irish, Inca, New Age), Metal and more. I also play the guitar, keyboard and recently started learning to play the harmonica, which is the ultimate musical instrument for the traveler in terms of mobility - size and weight wise.
