I’m a software developer who loves to travel. I usually travel solo and really enjoy meeting new people from around the world.

At home, I live with my partner, our cats and dog - so it’s a lively place, as you can imagine! We’ve both been vegan since 2015, so our home is completely free of animal products.

Solo travel has truly shaped who I am today. I used to be quite closed off, doing what was expected of me rather than what I genuinely wanted. Traveling alone helped me reconnect with myself and start making choices that felt authentic. It even inspired me to quit a job I disliked and find work that excites me - something I’m passionate about and that helps me grow. Since then, I haven’t stopped exploring the world. :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from around the world, hearing their stories, learning about their cultures.

兴趣

I love trying local food wherever I travel - I always look for places that serve authentic, traditional dishes.

I’m also really into tattoos! I have five, and each one is quite big. They’re therapeutic for me, each representing a different experience I’ve gone through - most of them connected to some of the tougher moments in my life.

音乐、电影和书籍

My taste in music changes a lot depending on my mood. Sometimes it’s rock - especially Evanescence - because it reminds me of my childhood. I used to listen to them a lot whenever I felt bold or emotional as a kid. Other times, I’ll put on some silly Hebrew songs I wouldn’t normally choose, just for fun. Most of the time, though, I just follow wherever Spotify takes me :)

I read all the Harry Potter books, recently I also started to read The Hunger Games.

When it comes to movies and shows, I love comedies, but I also enjoy sci-fi, thrillers, horror, and sometimes action. Some of the shows I’ve watched include Lost, Prison Break, The 100, The Rain, The Blacklist, The Mentalist, FBI, The Good Place, The Good Doctor, Manifest, How to Get Away with Murder, You, Orange Is the New Black, Dead to Me, The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Gilmore Girls.

As for movies, I’ve watched The Conjuring, Annabelle, Insidious, The Nun, Identity Thief, The Heat, and Life of the Party.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

An ice bath! At first, your body goes into shock - rapid breathing, total loss of control - but then, just moments later, you regain complete calm and control. It’s such an incredible experience, and I’m definitely up for doing it again in the future.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you some Hebrew if you’d like, or share the basics of programming. I can also tell you all about ice baths and how I got into them. I’d really love to be challenged by your lifestyle too - I enjoy learning from different ways of living and seeing things.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

We can share stories about our lives, and I can tell you what it’s really like living in Israel (spoiler: it’s not that amazing). And if you’d like, we could check out some amazing vegan restaurants together! 😃
