About Me

I am an undergraduate student currently on a leave of absence from University. I am traveling from Barcelona through the south of Spain all throughout Morocco (Tangier to the Sahara). I travel in order to meet new people and get acquainted with new cultures, and everything that entails. I have a fascination with urbanism and hiking as well as history, that is why I am currently traveling through the south of Spain and Morocco (rich areas perfect for my interests).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing for a number of reasons. When living in Israel I met some of the coolest people through friends that hosted people on Couchsurfing. I think the best part of traveling is getting to know the people that actually inhabit the places you are visiting. They always have the best recommendations and they can quickly steer you away from any unworthy sites, tourist traps etc. They have the best inside information. Also, someone willing to host a stranger says a lot about their personality and I vibe well with that personality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught in a public school not in my native language!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach something you have better knowledge in than someone else (it could be anything, even be the dynamic or landscape of your hometown).
Learn something new from every person you meet.
Share your story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am eager to meet them and learn from them and just have a nice time. I am very independent so no need to rely on them but open to hanging out (obviously).

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin (French part), Sint Maarten (Dutch part), Spain, Ukraine
