My name is Oria and i'm a 24 year old backpacker from Israel.
I can say traveling is a passion, and now after coming back home for some 'grounding' time, I see no reason to let go of it, so i'm excited to meet and to share with YOU, travelers, my time and knowledge :)

At the moment I can't always offer a couch, but i'd do my best to meet you and help you in any way I can.

If you want to know more about me, send me a message! come on, reading a profile is never enough :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experience of CS was beyond my expectations. It was in Madrid, a couple of years ago, and my host and I are still great friends keeping in touch and seeing each when possible. Bottom line, CS showed me the most beautiful side of people. I want to give back and share what I can the same way strangers shared with me along my way . And... who likes to feel like a tourist, right? =p

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing i've done though for sure an amazing moment of nature. Chilling on the hammocks in Oaxaca, Mexico, when I notice a bunch of people standing in two lines stretching from the shore to the ocean while sunset, I approach to see what's going on when I see they made a line for the hatching baby turtles to get safely to the water. BEAUTIFUL.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of vegan cooking, macrame, the languages I speak (or at least try) and my culture, and cool pics I took around the world. Well, I believe we can all share and learn from each other if we chose to!
Though I would love to meet people that could help me to keep practicing my spanish :) and would love to start learning french too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

food, laughter and a joint (hopefully) ;)
I always travel with my big fat camera, usually printing my pics and giving them as a little souvenir (but lets keep it as a surprise! haha)
