Giving without expecting anything back, Good vibes only and life is so awesome. I'd say this three phrases are kind of my way of living in the past few years.
My name is Shachaf Kantor but everybody calls me "Fooli" (I'm named after a traditional dish in Israel).
I'm originally from a small village in the northern part of Israel. Currently I live and work most of the year in the US when I'm not travelling. I live part time in my car(Dirtbag style) and working as a travelling wind turbine rope tech(super cool job) all over the US.
Thru all of my life I was adventures and I dreamed of the day that I will just travel and do my own thing. Now, for a few years already, I'm living my dreams and just traveling a lot, meeting new people and just enjoying life my own unique way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of my adventures is the people I meet.
I love getting to know "The Locals" and experience new cultures.
Couchsurfing is a great platform to meet awesome people and new friends. And hopefully one day they can come and visit me.

Interests

I love sports and a lot of them. From running ultra's to slackline doing yoga and a lot more. I love just watching a good game on TV in almost all sports.
Few years back I did my first vipassana meditation course it changed my life completely, since then I try to practice a lot. I'm really into realizing more about myself and exploring my mind.
I'm a vegan now for a while so I love cooking. My specialty is making Hummus and Falafel.
Few years back I lived in Colorado and fell in love with snowboarding, so in winters you can probably find me shredding some mountains.
Probably with all my hobbies I'd have to say my favorite is just dancing in Raves, Ecstatic Dance or just in any kind of music and environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, a 4300 KM hike from Mexico to Canada thru the United States west coast.
Now I'm more into ultra running , my longest race was a 100 miles(160 KM).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love teaching some basic Hebrew words and nouns. Other then that you're more then welcome to join my yoga fix or a nice run. I'd love teaching you medeternian vegan cooking specially Hummus and Falafel (I have my own secret recipe).
I'm almost always travel with my slackline and frisbee, so we can always meet up in a park and have a good session.
In general I'm a curios guy so I love learning about differnt cultures, history, languages and just hanging out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have plenty to share with my hosts, traveling stories, thoughts about religion, politics(I love to have discussions with respect even if we don't have the same opinion). Playing settlers of Catan or any kind of board or card game. Just having fun, dancing, having a few drinks or even maybe cooking a meal together.

I'll be happy to spend as much time with my hosts as they please, but also understand if spending time together isn't the most convenient.
