CURRENT MISSION

Experience life and absorb goodness from the living.

ABOUT ME

I travel whenever I can (http://picasaweb.google.com/Jenny.Abramov).
Exploring and experiencing different countries, cultures, people, colors, tastes.
Seeing all the beauty and the diversity that this world offers.
- I love it!
- I have never experienced something more fulfilling and enriching as traveling!
Landscapes beyond imaginations, people with crazy stories, food that makes you dream and music that makes you lose control are just a fraction of the reason why i like traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

"We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life."

- H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

"We are visitors on this planet" so be polite to mother earth and try to minimize your impact...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I'm not traveling and free, I'm happy to host, show the area, chat and give some useful information about traveling in Israel.

When I'm traveling, I hope to meet some interesting people to show me the local life :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the use of CS website to couchsurf, yet I've been crashing on couches for years and always loved it. Meeting interesting people and finding secret corners in cities you'd otherwise have missed is a fantastic experience!

Interests

Nature, technology, food, music and movies are all great passions of mine.
I enjoy things that that make me ponder the universe. More and more I enjoy simplicity in all its forms.
I find nature and life facinating - and so hiking and treking in great places.
A good cup of coffee and a great (even non-sense) chat can easily make me lose track of time. And I LOVE wandering and getting lost in markets (with so many colorful and crazy stuff being sold) and eating street food..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing some volcanoes in the salar de Uyuni (Bolivia). It was one of the most profound experiences of this earth's beauty that I've ever had, but there are so many others.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some things I have learned during traveling:

- travel light
(pack only necessary things to your travel - depending on the purpose of traveling)

- pack efficiently
(if you do not have the knowledge of packing efficiently - learn it as soon as possible)

- while traveling learn things from other travelers and locals
(e.g. the local language, cooking, knitting, making jewelry, building adobe house...)

- audio books can be really fun in travels

- wear sunscreen

- night busses can become a nightmare
