COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing in Israel. 2014 I got my first experience staying with a really nice couple in Holon, near Tel Aviv. Next summer I stayed in Bat Yam and Jerusalem. I've also met several nice people just to hang out with, had breakfast, gone to museum, walk, nightclub and learning Hebrew.
I hosted two Israeli guys at my home in Finland
