About Me

*** Few important things. Please read first. It would be easy to know if you didn't.
1. The core of CS is getting to know the local culture, people etc. My flat is not a hotel. Please read my profile.
2. For my and my flatmates reasons, I hardly ever host couples.
3. My flat is good for maximum amount of two people. Pay attention to it.
***

Originally born and raised in Haifa, but I've been living in Jerusalem for the last 14 years, on and off. Come to think about it, out of most of the cities in the world I've visited, still, Jerusalem is the one I love the most.
Although I studied Middle Eastern and Islam studies and International Relations as a B.A, my job is completely different. I work as a chef in one of the coolest and most colorful places I've ever been to - the Mahane Yehuda market. Add the word mhfc to your request if you read my profile.
I really enjoy travelling, experiencing new cultures and cuisines (since my job as a chef), checking out night-life, watching movies and hang out with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanted to try it after i heard about it from my flatmate. sounds pretty nice and my kind of style to host and meeting new and interesting people.
This idea is amazing for me, and I see CS as a way of making the world a better place by sharing stories, different cultures, having long and deep conversations, and get a different point of view of life from other people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing on different occasions a whole bottle of araq and tubi 60 all by myself. Yay alcoholism 🤣😜

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach and explain about the history of Israel, about Judaism and Islam, and of course cooking tips:)

I have this dream of studying Asian cooking in East Asia (mainly Vietnam and Japan), and if I had more time I would invest it more in studying new languages.

I can share stories from my travelling, cooking recipes and my flat ;)
