Hey!

I'm now in a six-month trip around the world. I volunteered in a village in Nepal, and now I'm in Spain walking the Camino de Santiago. After that hope to travel around Europe, and then go to Japan and South Korea to learn about Zen culture.

I will start to study in October at Tel Aviv University, in an Interdisciplinary program that includes philosophy, physics and literature.

In the last two years I worked as a freelance journalist (is was great) and a writer for advertising companies (will never do that again).

I just finished writing my first book, that consist 12 short stories in Hebrew. The book is going to be published this year in Israel, and i'm very excited about the whole thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn more about the world and other countries, and I believe that meeting people is the best way to do that. I think there is something very special in a community of people who open their doors to complete strangers, and I would want to be a part of this community.

I really believe it can make the world a nicer place to live in.
