About Me

Hey,
I'm a passionate fellow traveler with a wide range of interests, hobbies and aspirations, quite liberal and pluralist as a moral philosophy and moderate in my political views. I'm quite opinionated but flexible enough to modify my views. Constant movement. Enthusiast company is always welcomed! Yet people who aren't V-serious about having fun are a big mystery to me 🤔

LIFE GOALS
✅ Make new friends from all over the globe
✅ Travel to meet and host them interchangeably

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." (Dr. Seuss)
Also: Make it happen! Pronto!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This Dutch blessing I received once keeps on echoing:
"May you meet the people you deserve meeting" ❤️

Meeting people is my fuel. Being exposed to cultures, cuisines, and different views is a passion of mine. Our reality is based on perspective, historical and cultural background. Where we were, and who we will meet, would likely impact the course of our lives in some way or another. People should have access to other customs, traditions, ideas and social codes. It's probably the best way we could continue to evolve as a society.
Attractions checklists, cueing together with a bunch of other tourists, this isn't really my jam: I love being where the locals go. I like adventures, too.

Consider you probably just earned yourself a drink 🍻

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped off an airplane for a 4,000m free-fall and sky diving here in Deutschland 🇩🇪
I also dove the blue hole in Egypt 🇪🇬, rode horses in the wilderness of Cuba 🇨🇺 and converted a camper to travel while living in it for a few months in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Teach, Learn, Share

Wanna learn a wild mix of Israeli/ Middle Eastern/ Mediterranen quisine, Hebrew, and a bit of German (Bavarian)?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Considerate vibes, exchange interesting stories, co-cook yummy food, share Spotify playlists, loads of curiosity and hips of sense of humor, I'm also pretty competent and can keep myself entertained and busy - if all that is not enough, well, then I'll leave everything exactly the way it was before me - or better - promise! ✌️
