ABOUT ME
Usually Smiling :-) always look for the positive sides of life. Meeting new friends all around the world is a great pleasure for me and opportunity to chance upon new Ideas, thoughts and cultures.
A little bit about myself - for the last 6 years, I'm working as a programmer.Part of my free time is dedicated to volunteering activities. Although the fact that nowadays I'm in a little break (saving time for studyng), my last volunteering activity was in organization for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Israel (Visit Aid Organization for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Israel ).
In the summer time evenings, probably you will find me playing paddle ball in the beach :-) In other time, you can find me spending time with friends at home, for a dinner, drinks, good movies and talks; just sitting in a bar or coffee shop, or relaxing at home with good books and music.
For the good feeling of "Stay Young Forever" :-), I am trying to do some sports activities, so few times a week I am in the Gym, Swimming or running.
I like to discover new places and landscapes in Israel, so I am ready for hiking/camping at each free moments I have (almost every weekend :-))
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm involved in local groups, posting any suggesting and tips for travelers in Israel, and sometimes I'm asking for advices from other CS. Besides, I will be glad to host you in my home, and to find time (at weekend or other than work days)to show you around - places and sites in Israel, and any help, if necessary to make your trip in Israel more comfort and a good experience.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My experience in mostly in hosting people who travels in Israel.
The first and the only time for the moment, I used CS as a surfer, was in a short trip in north Italy with a friend (also a CS member).
Actually, I find it really hard mission to find places to stay in Italy :-)
Maybe it was a bad "timing" (July is summer holidays and exams period for students), maybe because we were two guys travelling around together and the "Italian Machismo" can't deal with it :-)..who knows ??
With those who hosted us, we have a great experience.
I hope that in my next time, it will be easier :-)
