Sup, I'm Kathy, originally from Russia but living in Israel for the past two decades. Recently graduated from University, so now I can spend some more time outside of a pile of books.
I enjoy meeting new people, learning about new cultures and discovering new places I can visit - working at the airport makes it much easier :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I mostly travel alone, but I don't want to get too lonely.
It's nicer to share the experience of traveling and discovery with local people, or even with travelers such as yourself that you meet along the way.
One of the best ways to get to know a place is through the locals.

Interests

I really like reading, to the point my grandmas' first question after "how are you eating?" is "what are you currently reading?"
I also enjoy sports and have a really active lifestly, so if you are up for a hike / a bike ride / swimming you can always count me in!
One of the weirder hobbies is dressing up as an elf and running around in the woods waving a latex sword, good thing I'm tiny or alse it might have been weird, and not adoreble.

Music, Movies, and Books

That list would be too long!
The only genre I somewhat dislike is dubstep. Good thing it's basicly extinct.

I'd love to hear your reccomendations, though :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nurtured a baby kitten from the age of 5 days until he was an adult. It's pretty amazing!

Also I make my friends laugh every day - which is *really* amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Although I cannot offer hosting [my location isn't close to anything interesting] I would love to help out with advice about planning a trip to Israel, tips about good/overrated locations, where it's best to visit when, etc.

I would like to absorb any knowledge you throw at me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a good seance of humor, a special touch for story-telling and I make a killer Shakshuka.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, United States
