My name is Milo and I live in Ashkelon, Israel. I have 3 dogs, I am half American (my dad lives in DC), and I am 19 years old.
I love music and would love listening to whatever feels good, I love art and I really appreciate it- all kinds of it (dance, visual arts, music and more). I find languages to be one of the most interesting things and that's why I am working on French- which I think is the prettiest language, but I also ask my friends to teach me about their languages whenever I can.
I love traveling and exploring the world, it's so eye opening to see the way people live- people of all ages, economic statuses, genders, religions, colors, sexual orientations. Whether it's urban life or the suburbs, or nature- mountains, valleys, forests, fields- everything has a meaning and shows a certain part of the country and its characteristics, it's heart and soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I love traveling and exploring the world and I think the best way to do that is to see the people that live in the country I'm visiting- talk to them, learn from them, see the way they live. I never liked hotels too much- I mean they're comfortable and clean, but you don't get a real feel of the county you're in when you sleep at a hotel.
Plus... it's economic and you have the option of staying in the suburbs and not necessarily in the middle of the city.

Interests

I love art- of all kinds. I studied painting, drawing and sculpting in school, and i still do everything and love it. Sculpting is my favorite- I absolutely admire the feeling of creating something from in between my fingers, and giving it "life". My favorite thing to create/see is art of the human body. I think it's the most beautiful thing in the world and I am currently working on proportions and truly understanding it.
I am taking drum classes, and I hope to take drumming as far as I can, and hopefully become a professional drummer one day, in a band or as someone's drummer.... it's my dream.
I danced ballet for 14 years, and I love it so so so so so much... I miss it a lot and looking for a place to get back to it and start dancing again

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music- if it feels good I will like it. Especially Israeli alternative, rap, hip hop, trap, chill, rock, old rock and many many others that don't have a definition. Music can't really be put under one or two words, it's an awesome combination of everything.
My favorite movie is Mustang. The animation movie about the horse. It's so emotional and the animation is so good.... I really think it's a must see.
I also like Leon:the professional, the perks of being a wallflower, American beauty, the usual suspects (I love Kevin Spacey), and mindfuck movies in general (memento, inception, the mechanist, and the one with the magicians).
My favorite book is war horse (notice a pattern here?), and I really love reading.. but I am a slow reader so it always takes me a long time to finish my books. Right now I'm reading The Fountainhead :)
