About Me

My name Is Or, I am a 22 years old male from israel. I have 2 brothers and a sister.
I have finished highschool and have gone through a militery service of 3 years in a combat unit in the israeli IDF ("Paratroopers") as a combat medic, there I learned my proffesion and was fortunate enough to save lifes and give medical help to people from my countries and others...
At this moment I am fresh out of the army and in the middle of traveling in the continent of south america, a trip that might take betwin ten months to a year, as of yet I have visited brazil , argentina and chille and was fortunate enough to meet amazing friends from those countries.

I am a very open minded person that loves people, loves talking and quite generaly a very friendly person. I am open to the opinions of others but tend to have a lot of my own. I am very open to all sorts of discussions from subjects "high" and more "down to earth". I am looking to discover new coltures diffrent then mine and costumes of people from diffrent countries, I am very intrested in meeting new people from other countries.

My passion is music(everything thats good from all generes, but more connected to indie rock, rock, electronic...), I am traveling with a guitar and am a singer, I am searching for new songs all the time from every genere and would love to hear new stuff(even from diffrent languages!).

Current Point of my trip:
I am residing in fortaleze for 2 months in order to learn how to speak portugese and meet the wonderfull brazilian people. In augost I will be going to sao paolo and then straight to new york(Nueva york).

Me llamo Or, tengo 22 años y soy de Israel. Tengo 2 hermanos y una hermana. Apenas terminé la secundaria, asistí al servicio militar obligatorio por 3 años en la unidad de combate israelí en IDF (paracaidismo) como paramédico de combate. Allí desarrollé mi profesión de la cual me siento sumamente afortunado por haber salvado vida y haber dado asistencia médica tanto a personas de mi país como así también a personas de otros países.

Ahora, recientemente salido del servicio militar, estoy viajando por Sud América. Este viaje me tomará aproximadamente ente 10 meses a 1 año. Hasta ahora he visitado Brasil, Argentina y Chile donde he tenido la suerte de conocer y hacer amigos increíbles.

Soy una persona de mentalidad abierta que ama a las personas, disfruto mucho conocer gente y hablar largas horas. Soy muy amigable y acepto opiniones de terceros; Me gusta mucho debatir y conversar de todo tipo de temas. Estoy en la búsqueda y descubrimiento de nuevas culturas totalmente diferentes a la mía. También estoy interesado en conocer gente de otros países.

La música es mi pasión, generalmente todo lo que se considera bueno de cada género, pero me siento más conectado con los géneros indie rock, rock y/o electrónica. Siempre llevo conmigo en mis viajes mi guitarra ya que disfruta cantar y tocar la guitarra. Siempre estoy buscando aprender y conocer nuevas canciones y artistas de todos los géneros en cualquier idioma.

Actualmente estoy en Buenos Aires aprendiendo español y tango, y me quedaré por aproximadamente 3 meses. Trabajo de barman en un bar. Me siento un poco cansado de los hostels ya que comparto mi habitación con 10 personas diferentes, razón por la cuál estoy buscando alguien que me hospede hasta que pueda encontrar un departamento para mí.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am intrested in meeting new people from all other the world and discover new costumes and languages, especialy those people who are enough open minded to let a stranger hop into their homes, it sounds to me like an opportunity to meet truly intresting people.
