About Me

ABOUT ME

After a year spent in China, I'm back in Jerusalem, Israel.
I lived in china all in all almost 2 years and traveled quite a bit. Living abroad, traveling and meeting people from all around the globe is one of the most rewarding things ever. All I want to do ever since is keep on traveling :) so after half a year in one place, I start to get this feeling again, of moving on, seeing new things, meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, make the best out of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I was a silent user of CS, never hosted, never stayed with a host, even though I signed up almost 5 years ago. I feel that now is the time to change that and try this out, while I have the opportunity to host :)

Interests

I love music!
I can say I'm into sports, mostly swimming (swimming in a masters team) and cycling around Jerusalem, Beijing or any other place. I believe that cycling is by far the best option of getting around while traveling or living in a place, and I can' understand how come so many people still haven't realized that :)
I also like reading, foreign affairs, China, Chinese language, politics, history, DOGS, cats, traveling and beer!
