About Me

I'd like to go through life like a surfer gets up on top of a perfect wave: completely aware and in the present moment enjoying the ride.

Very social and open, blunt and friendly (hard to understand for the primitives), relaxed, melodic, outdoor active, superior driving skills

b) I was hosted by a Georgian for 3 days in Tbilisi, Georgia and it was great!

c) I was hosted by 2 lovely local people in Odessa, Ukraine, which was another great experience!

d) I was hosted by a Ukrainian for 2 days in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, as the first guest of my host!

e) I was hosted by a sweet Belarusian in Minsk for 4 days, which was great fun!

f) I was hosted by a Belarusian couple in Istanbul for 1 night, which was rather interesting after I'd traveled to Belarus :)

u) 4th time in Israel with 3 different hosts in 3 days - was as good as in the previous time :)

v) 2nd time in Bucharest with a Romanian host - life is great with Couchsurfers :)

w) The 5th time in Israel - in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Jerusalem, of course again with Couchsurfers! Amazing as always!

y) The 6th time in Israel - lovely memories only in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Jerusalem :)

z) The 2nd time in Tirana with an Israeli friend - I love being a part of this community!

Now the English alphabet is over! Hahahahaah :) I stayed with (once again) amazing Couchsurfers in Israel: Mevo Modi'im, Tiberias and Ness Ziona! I spent amazing time in Tel Aviv and Rishon Leziyyon too! I can't ask for more!

My 10th trip in Israel? :) :) :) In Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Bat Yam! Vow! Vow! Vow! :)

My 11th trip in Israel was fantastic with an amazing group of Couchsurfers in Tel Aviv!

I stayed with a Couchsurfer in Hannover, Germany, which was another pleasant experience.

My 12th trip in Israel was very good - as always! In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with the friends from CS.

I used CS twice in Amsterdam after a hectic business trip; it was pleasant!

My 13th trip in Israel was once again with Couchsurfers only! So far so good :)

My stay in Ishoj, Denmark, was another best experience with a Couchsurfing family :)

I have made my 14th trip to Israel to stay with a couple of friends whom I made thanks to CS! Another vow experience!

I have used CS again in Basel, Switzerland, by staying with a local, which showed me once again how CS is a valuable part
