Shalom everyone! I'm an Israeli guy who's (hopefully) travelling about and is trying very hard to write an decent about me section. I'm a self-proclaimed avid music fan, and play the guitar myself. Other than that, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, film photography, brewing kombucha and fermenting things, and especially wandering about :) I love hitchhiking and try to do it as much as I can as well.

Solo travelled a few times, and obviously looking to do it more.

I'm also active on these websites, so if you send a request here and I don't answer within a few days you can try in any of these sites if you're on them -

“Sal, we gotta go and never stop going 'till we get there.'
'Where we going, man?'
'I don't know but we gotta go.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to connect with cool people on my travels, and to connect with cool people while they're travelling too.

Couchsurfing in general has opened me to plenty of ideas and has inspired me a lot, and I wish to share these experiences with the people I end up connecting with through this platform.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My goal in life is to be able to answer this adequately and thoroughly.

Teach, Learn, Share

Talking about everything under the sun is great in my opinion, but to be more specific, I'd love to discuss anything you'd love to share. Or about interesting quirks of the places you're from. I can share plenty of those :) Since music is a key part of what I do every day, it's always nice to talk about that as well.

I also have some interesting travel stories under my belt, and that keeps expanding (literally and figuratively), so that's always good.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with whatever housework - basic cooking, cleaning, laundry, walk your dog/cat/giant tortoise, you name it.

I also make bomb mamaliga. My grandmas even approved it.
