first off- I LIVE IN ISRAEL, NOT JORDAN/AQABA so to all who r requesting to stay in my home in Aqaba, I'm on the other side of the border 😅😉

Hey there 🤸🏽‍♀️My name is Gilit, I'm 27 yo from Israel, living in a small city by the red sea. I've just finished my second year in university studying psychology and arts, and spend most of my free time hiking 🌿 diving 🐟 and at the beach ☀️
Before starting my studies, I've spent afew years backpacking solo around the world, biggest trip has been one year hitchhiking across Africa! Love talking about anything having to do with backpacking, solo traveling, arts, our minds and souls, the ocean, nature, yoga, music, and anything about Africa (I'm obsessed!)🤩
I love traveling, listening to good music, diving and snorkeling, making ceramics, spending most of my days outside and making art

Happy travels and keep on smiling🙃🤙🏽⭐🙉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is a great experience and an awesome opportunity to meet new and interesting people from around the world! it's a great way to travel and I believe it brings us all together and unites us- no matter where you're from

Interests

🧑‍🎨I've been making art since I learned how to hold a pencil and basically love trying any and every form. But I definitely favor ceramic which I've been doing for the past few years
🏊🏼‍♂️I'm a divemaster and living right by the red sea just makes everyday an adventure!
🌿Put me in the middle of nowhere, as long as I'm surrounded by nature I'll be the happiest person around 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share with others my knowledge about any of my hobbies, and traveling too! I would say I have quite alot of knowledge about diving and arts, and always love talking about things I love 🙃 I like cooking and making fun things in the kitchen, it's always great to have a beautiful colorful meal.
I'd love to share travel stories, hitchhiking around Africa for a year on my own taught me quite alot and I believe it's important to share experiences and lessons learned🤓
