About Me

I'm a 26 year old traveling and exploring enthusiast. Very much enjoy experiencing new cultures, languages and of course meeting people from all over the world.
Since my arrival in Germany I have been learning intensively German and since my travels in South America last year, Spanish as well (although I admit I lost some if it).
Right now I live in Berlin and have been hosted by some people and would like to return the favor.
Feel free to send me a request, it doesnt have to be super personal (I know how stressful it can be) but please indicate that you read my profile somehow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The question is why not be on couchsurfing?! Its one of the greatest ideas ever. I am interested in having an authentic experience while traveling. Meeting the local people of the region and when I return home, meet people traveling where life will have me settle. It's hard to go back to hostels afterwards, because your experience with CS is so much more rememberable! It leaves you with a positive feeling that another international connection has been made! Despite the hard work of sending messages (and getting mostly declined) it stills burns in ya...regarding the hosting part, well it really opens up your world to let a stranger into your room for some nights, knowing even before you meet him that you will probably become good friends afterwards.

Interests

Traveling, hiking, amateur mountaineering are my passions.
Interesting discussions about all sorts of subjects: Culture, politics, the weather;)))
Like all Couchsurfers, I enjoy talking to people from all over the world and hear their opinions and their stories.
Sport wise in the city I am mainly in the Gym, cycling on my bike and a bit of rock climbing (though I'm terribly amateur) but in Israel I was playing tennis regularly .
On holidays in summer I usually go trekking somewhere abroad with family of friends
and in winter Skiing is a must (whenever the geography and the economy is right:)
Love cooking, Chilling in a bar or dancing in a club on a weekend. Watching Game of Thrones every Monday eve during the seasons airing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many...Once we meet, I will share them with you! Two include:
Sleeping under the stars in the forest in no-mans's-land between the checkpoints of the Argentinian and Chilean border. And:
Getting stuck in a snow-storm with a friend on mountain pass on a challenging trek near Ushuaia (southern most city in the world) and actually hugging him and saying: "we might survive longer if we stick together".
