CURRENT MISSION

Travel when I can

ABOUT ME

Ahlan, shalom, aloha. My goal in life is to see as much of this amazing planet and meet as many people from as many cultures and societies, and learn as much from them as they from me. And of course to eat and drink all the local cuisines. All about knowledge and wisdom, always learning something new and applying it to life to make it a more fulfilling journey.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in God and believe He endowed every human being with a soul. Everyone has dignity as an individual, amd collectively we all need to respect our cultural and religious beliefs. We were created to be part of a community and engage the world around us. The digity of difference !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Theoretically willing to lend my couch to a fellow traveler. Unfortunately I am currently in living arrangements that make it hard to impossible to host, but hopefully this will change with a new apartment in the fall.

I've been to a few CS meetings of local hosts in Jerusalem.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with a host in Abkhazia and met up with contacts in Greece and Armenia.
