Hi! Nice to meet you :)
I’m Gal, from Israel, traveling for 9 months all over Asia.
One of my main goals during this trip is to know more people and also share our experiences, to learn different cultures, and of course to taste some new flavors :)
One of my big hobbies is to cook, and my dream is to open a restaurant.
Before I started this trip I walked through the "Israel national trail", which cross Israel from south to north in 1000 km.
Prior to that I worked as a Hiking Trail-Marker - the coolest work ever!
We worked as a team of 4 people who are responsible for marking and maintaining all the walking paths in nature reserves in Israel.
After graduating from high school, I was on a preparatory program for the army that lasted a year we lived together as a community 50 people.
In this program we learned lessons on a variety of topics (religion, philosophy, Jewish heritage, etc.). I also volunteered in a nearby nature reserve.
After the program, I joined the army and served for three years.
A bit about my personality, I'm looking for adventures wherever I stay, always try to look at the bright side of thinks even if something goes wrong.. it's all lessons.
I heard so much good experiences from people that I met on my way so I decided to join CS for the first time.
