About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn how to say 'Cheers' in every language!

ABOUT ME

I've moved around all my life. Born in Israel, lived in California for 3 years, moved back to Israel, and then came to Canada! Right now I live in downtown Toronto with my boyfriend. We love travelling and camping!

We look forward to hosting CS'ers!

More specifics about me: I can be shy or outgoing depending on my mood, but nonetheless I enjoy meeting new people, especially from different parts of the world! :) I love checking out live music, dancing, going to movies, theatres, etc. I also enjoy outdoorsy stuff very much like hiking and camping.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't worry 'bout a thing, cuz every little thing is gonna be alright ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch-surfed with my boyfriend during our mini-Euro-road-trip, met lots of cool people, had a really good time! I live with my boyfriend in downtown Toronto, and we look forward to hosting CS'ers! I also enjoy meeting local people from the couch-surfing community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do have a bit of couch-surfing experiences under my belt, though not through this site. A few years back, I went on an exchange semester in Israel, and for the first month or so before the semester actually began, I found myself visiting and staying with a whole bunch of relatives and friends whom I hadn't seen in years - bed/couch-surfing from city to city.

During my semester there at the International School, I met some really cool people from different parts of Europe and all over - some of which I actually got to host when they came to visit. :)

I have also couch-surfed a few times in the past year with my sister in LA, and with my boyfriend in Europe, good times!
