Hi
My birth name is Liraz. but I would be happy if you called me- Lila.
I am 38 years old, born and raised in Jerusalem, a city that everyone has a strong opinion and feeling about. specially this days...

growing up on this land, taught me to accept the complex existence of life. to realise that every story as so many angles and perspective. that every human has is own baggage. history. ideology. faith. beliefs. and ideas that adopted over the years. But at the same time, every human has a heart.
One Heart.  
that we can all connected ✨
so this is what I choose to focus on.

I'm a positive and optimistic human being that believe against all odds in PEACE and LOVE .
Yeah i know it sound hippie :) but i strongly believe that this is the only way to heal the pain and build bridges between people.
Over the years, I turned this idea into a profession, when i chose to become a psychotherapist that support people with their life journey. Mostly people that struggling with depression and post trauma. I was working at the Center for domestic violence prevention, at the House for youth at risk, at the homeless shelter, and more and more...
But these are just labels.

I'm a woman of this earth.
creating, laughing, breathing, singing, dancing and enjoying life. 
A traveller in most aspects of life, love to wake up every morning knowing that today will be much different from the last. always seeking ways to expand my mind and heart, to explore new places outside and inside of me, to make myself a better person and become one with the world
and one with nature.

I Love wake up in the morning with the sound of the leaves rustle in the wind. 
Love watch sunset in the end of the day. 
Love witness the seasons changes by the colors of the clouds.
Love walk on the path near my sweet tiny house and meet wildlife animal. 
Love the fact that i can grow my own vegetables.
Love to walk barefoot on the ground soil.
Love the sun. The moon. 
The earth. And the sky.
Love Life🌸

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a curious person, always love to meet new people and places. especially i'm curious about lifes stories and experience of a person who grew up in a different culture than me.
I'm not particularly interested in touristic places, and I like to travel in a different way, so this platform offers exactly the human and local experience.

Interests

I love dancing ! at every opportunity, specially on the studio floor, connecting with my body and with other CI body movers.

I love singing ! even if i don't always sing in the right rhythm and scale, I feel very deep connection to music and melodies.

I love nature ! in any way, whether it's walking, hiking, running, riding or just sitting and observe the various colors, smells and shades that nature has to offer.
Specially, i love to sit by the fire! And stare the magic movement of the flames.
