About Me
At the moment I cannot host but if you want to hang out in Tel Aviv, I can meet you for coffee, food, or show you around town.
CURRENT MISSION
♦ Enjoy life to the fullest
♦ Eat the best food every city has to offer
♦ Create experiences and make memories
ABOUT ME
I'm a happy person from Tel Aviv. I'm a freelance executive in tech, which means I can work from anywhere as long as I have wifi :) This allows me to travel very often. I love meeting new people, exploring new places and new cultures.
I'm also a real foody! I love trying new stuff and showing you to the best places in town.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't judge :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
HANGING OUT
I enjoy meeting locals when I'm traveling, and I'm happy to meet travelers to Tel Aviv and Israel, show you around or meet for drinks.
HOSTING
I can host sometimes if it works out, but for me there's only one reason to host someon, and that's whether I can see us becoming friends after. If there's no connection coming out of it, then what's the point?
So you can imagine that hosting requests saying things like "Don't worry, you won't even notice that I am there" or "I just need a place to sleep and we don't need to hangout" are pointless. And in my opinion someone that sends such a request doesn’t really get Couchsurfing :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met a few locals in my last trip to Amsterdam through couchsurfing, which was great!
I met many locals in San Francisco who showed me around and took me to awesome restaurants - it was so much fun.
In Barcelona I organized a big CS event (about 40 people arrived), and met many fellow travelers and some locals. I've made some really good friends there!
Whenever I travel I try to meet with locals and explore with fellow travelers.
I love meeting up with tourists coming to visit Tel Aviv or locals living in cities I travel to.
I've made so many great new friends through Couchsurfing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took a year off from work and spent it traveling, hosting couch-surfers and learning French. It was amazing :)

I can teach Hebrew, English and un peu French. I'm always on the lookout for French speaking friends :)
I Also know a lot about food, and know lots of good places to eat at.
