About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Riding my bike tour from Berlin to Barcelona :-) Bringing Social Change and more Democracy to the people...

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious person, enjoy meeting new people. I'm looking for more experiences and to keep on learning. I Love sports, acrobatics, dance, yoga, politics. I have a diverse field of interests, I've travelled a lot and worked in different jobs to explore what I really like.
I was one of the field leaders of the social protest in Israel in summer 2011, coordinated between over 100 tent cities and worked very hard trying to create a more democratic and sustainable way of being and of protesting. I love connecting people (it sounds like an advertisement to a company, but that's really me :-) ), and that was a main part of what I did in that big summer, apart from sometimes working with the media and helping organizing demonstrations and activities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been on CouchSurfing for a long time, but just recently started to really be active and to host. It's been a lot of fun!! I love meeting new people from different places, and showing them (you) around the places I love, telling then my perspective of life and the life in Israel.
