I'm Shahaf and I'm looking forward to making new friends from different countries. If I could, I'd spend all my time doing just that.
I have a BA in archaeology and geography. I love learning about cultures and their customs. I'm an active person who jogs, hikes and climbs. I know southern Israel pretty well, and I'd be happy to show you around or share tips. On the side I do sex guidance (help people improve their sex lives or treat sexual dysfunctions), English tutoring, QA, and writing. Dog person through and through.

A couple of things to consider when traveling in Israel:
1) Public transportation in Israel is severely crippled to non-existent on the Sabbath (from mid-day Friday to Saturday evening).
2) Israeli summer can be like a furnace. If you go hiking, bring with you sunscreen and at least 2 large bottles of water, 3 if you're hiking in the south.
3) Moovit app can help you get around and Alltrails has all the nature trails in Israel
4) There are a lot of hidden gems scattered around Israel only local people know! Ask around

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skinny-dipped drunk out of my head in front of all my high school peers and subsequently vomited 27 times.
Take your pick.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always ready to learn new things! As for what I can teach:
1) I took a course in sexology and sex therapy, so I can both help treat sex issues and also help people with healthy, good sex improve it even more
2) Game development
3) A little bit of Java
4) Stoic philosophy
5) English (I side as a tutor)
