Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a number of people unofficially but also toured and traveled with hundreds of CSers over the years. I used to host parties and events. I spend time showing new people around my city. I know Jerusalem and Haifa very well and would be happy to guide someone planning a trip or show someone around who is traveling in these areas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly enjoy people who are passionate about something. We have so much to share from our own experiences. I like to tour a bit with my CSers and cook with them, teach them and learn from them.

Interests

I like exploring, learning, communication, reading and thinking about big ideas. I like talking to new people. I studied all kinds of things in high school, took a lot of language and psychology courses. I like to cook, hike, ice skate, sketch, and explore.
