About Me

CURRENT MISSION

taking it easy

ABOUT ME

i am 25 years old, live in TA and studying for my BA in social work in Tel- Aviv university.
i am also a part-time dancer in a small dance group and sometimes a choreographer, and because i need rent money, i am also a waitress at a fringe theatre in south T"A.
i live with a flat-mate and my lovely and beautiful dog Lila in the Yemenite quarter of Tel-Aviv.

PHILOSOPHY

Judge a person by their questions, rather than their answers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i surfed in different cities in Europe, it was great and i met amazing people. i also had great experiences hosting in my home in t"a, and meeting great surfers my friends hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

the best one has to be: our host in paris, turning on the lights at 5 am, and waking us up shouting (in his awsomme french accent) "PARTY!!!!! COUCHSURFERS!! PARTY!!!!"
it was unforgettable.
