Overview
About Me
I was born in Israel and moved to Amsterdam when i was 3 years old, where i grew up till i was 13, when i left the normal education system to travel the world with my parents and my little brother. We traveled for 5 years all over Asia, Europe and some parts of Australia, where i learned not from a normal school but from people around me and and reading a LOT of books. I've studied yoga, permaculture, diving and volunteered in many different places, giving me the experience of a life time. Last year i decided i wanted to study photography, and got accepted to the Royal Academy of Art in the Netherlands, where i have been studying for the past year. Now i miss the road though and have decided to take a break from my study and go volunteer some more, do my dive master and meet some new people! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I grew up with Couchsurfing at home. Our house was always open to everyone and every week we would have new people visiting us from all over the world. I loved meeting new people (even if i was only 8 and the people we hosted were 20 years older than me), and i still love meeting new people and developing new friendships, and i believe Couchsurfing is a great way to do so!

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some photograpy, cooking skills, English, Hebrew, Norwegian or Dutch, and i'm always open to learn new languages and recipes, so I'd love it if you share your skills with me :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share smiles, cooking, music, movies, deep conversations and some new words in foreign languages.
I love to help with anything that is needed and maybe cook a few new meals for you (like a Persian meal of example ;) ).
