CURRENT MISSION

Find what I actually want to do with my life

ABOUT ME

Intelligent, funny and easy going. I am nice company in rain or shine :)

I am awesome (in a positive non-arrogant way)!!!

If you would like more information about me, then FB seems to contain a pretty good record of the past 6 years of my life (and a bunch of my photos):

PHILOSOPHY

I think that some people (me for example) are at their best in changing environments. The brain, the eyes and the heart want to experience new things and who are we to stop them from doing that.
So as a result my life philosophy also changes every now and again€.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During 2013 I hosted and surfed quite a few times and had great experiences all the time. So far I hosted in Haifa where I grew up and studied.
Now I am setting out on a trip between University and real life and hoping to see as much as I can and hoping to use the assistance of kind hosts around the world.
When I come back to Israel I plan to move to Tel-Aviv and start hosting again, because hosting is almost as fun as traveling yourselves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has completely changed the way I see travelling. I fear I will never again be able to go back to regular hosteling or worst…staying in big heartless hotels.
It is so great to be part of a project that’s all about bringing together people that sometimes have nothing but good will in common (turns out that it is enough..)

Interests

I like traveling, photography, running, drinking (in a pleasant non-addictive way of course) and meeting new people, and I especially like the rare occasions where all of these passions can be fulfilled at the same time (it's hard but possible, you would think that running and drinking at the same time is hard, but it turns out that running and photography are actually the hardest to combine).
