To enjoy life

ABOUT ME

We aro two married couples sharing an apartment. Smadar (f) is a social work student, her husband Micky is a computer programmer. Yuval (m) is a Geography & political science student, and his wife Yael studies for her MA in east Asian studies.
We love to cook, eat, talk about politics nd other stuff, and always happy to meet some new and interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Smadar:
I can't really say I hold a well rehearsed philosophy. Right now the notion "ethical hedonism" just popped into my head, so maybe that's it. I really love to help other people and see them happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Smadar:
I assist in Self-defense courses for women, and being part of the change that takes place in these women's life is the most amazing thing in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Smadar:
I can teach some self-defense moves and attitudes and Hebrew. I'm said to be a great cook, and will be very happy to cook with surfers.
I'll be happy to talk Deutsch with ever German, but I'm a bit shy about my lousy German, so you'll have to be gentle with me!
