Currently in: Israel

I love learning about pretty much anything, connecting with others on a deep level, and exploring the complexity and beauty of the human experience. Till now, I have dedicated my entire adult life to learning about movement, exercise, nutrition, and the human body. I founded a personal training company and lived the entrepreneurial lifestyle for years before deciding I had a strong passion for exploring.

My girlfriend and I are currently traveling indefinitely, using platforms like Couchsurfing to meet others. We are both easy going, fun loving people who regularly practice mindfulness, gratitude and non-judgement.

Check out my Instagram profile @bfitbyj for a little glimpse into my life :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing better than exploring a foreign place with a local in order to really soak up the culture. I look forward to connecting with individuals from all walks of life to share laughs with and learn from.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I founded what started as a personal training business when I was 25 years old (www.WeAreBFit.com). It grew from a one man operation to having 4 locations and over 100 active members. Thousands of people have come through our doors, many of which have transformed their lives for the better.

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to teach you:
- How to dance salsa
- AcroYoga (it's easier than it looks)
- Self-Defense (I am trained in Krav Maga and Taekwondo)
- How to cook simple and delicious meals

I've owned a personal training and movement studio for 5 years and have worked with hundreds of people from all walks of life to improve their quality of lives. I will gladly offer personalized exercise and nutritional advice to hosts.

My girlfriend is an excellent cook, so prepare for a delicious home-cooked meal :)
