About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life's mission is to be happy,,, :D And to leave behind a better world. And to connect.

I'm a life coach, I've lived in different places, my last job was working in a gym as a psychologist -how do you think that works?! =) Now I'm a landlord and trade stocks but love yoga and I'm passionate about protecting the environment (worked at that too). I enjoy meeting new, positive people, also enjoy trekking, reading, biking, scuba diving,,,

PHILOSOPHY

"If you want to change the world, first take a couple short walks around your own home"
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
"The only thing to fear is fear itself"
....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed (and hosted) lots of couches in the past, in and out of CS, always good experiences :D

Interests

everything: people, photo, outdoors stuff like kayaks, bars, sports, psychology, beaches, computers, cinema,,,!
My interests have no limits - they range from frisbee at the beach to world fixing conversations over a beer or bad jokes XD

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

And every time I help someone at work ;) Or at a bar, haha!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

again: photo, outdoors stuff like kayaks, bars, sports, psychology, beaches, computers, cinema,,, anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

conversations, experiences, activities,,, The attitude of letting yourself be surprised, of wonder that a child has is the best :)

It is also pure magic to let the other person surprise you in a conversation and as a result change ur mind - it feels so good to have listened. On the other hand, it is also the best when people tell each other they do not agree and they both remain happy with that disagreement :D
