Triple vaccinated

Hey! I'm itamar, i was born and raised in Israel, and lived all my life in a kibbutz (sort of a small village).

Been practicing martial arts since i was 9.
I trained in BJJ, wrestling and sanshou and was an instructor for the last 2 years before i started traveling.

Traveled a lot all around the world with family, friends and alone

I've been traveling for the last 7 months🤩
Started in the east side of the US with a friend and a small van, then moved to south america for the last 4 months.
Just arrived back to the states and for now I'm traveling alone with my van!
Therefore... I would love to meet people/locals to socialize and get familiar with the city.
Let's share some traveling stories!!!

Planning to travel all across the south and west side in the next couple of months

***Also if you don't have place inside, it would be amazing if I could just park my van outside and sleep there

***i just downloaded the app so no references... but i swear I'm a real and nice person just looking for some good company

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As boring as it sounds, to meet new people.
I'm a people person
And being alone in a van can be... Well lonely 😅
I would love to meet some interesting people and hang out, and it seems like a good place to start
