Hey I'm Tal! I'm 27 years old and have been traveling the world for the last 9 years.
I'm lucky enough to do YouTube and Travel Content Creation as a full time job, and I love it! My channel is called Ukulele Nomad (if you wanna check me out 😉)

I built an amazing tiny house on the wonderful island of Siargao in the Philippines. I fell in love with that place as I was stuck there during the Covid 19 Pandemic.

Ive couchsurfed all over the world and am a strong believer in the concept and the app! I love making friends from here and it would be an honor of mine to host you in my home that I built, if I can! We can go adventure together and most importantly SURF!

Im a huge dinosaur nerd (I actually have another YouTube channel all about dinosaurs) and I looooooove cooking. I also love surfing and skating and have spent some time building my own skateboards as well. Big into music as well, Ive been playing the guitar and ukulele for 10+ years and am currently learning the flute. Lover of people experiences and learning from those around me. So if any of these things jive with you just reach out! Looking forward to meet you future friend 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the ukulele. I travel with a ukulele and would be more than happy to show you how (it's really easy).

I like to learn the history of families. Especially of immigrants to countries so I hope it's cool if I ask some questions.

My mom taught me how to cook, and she's a pretty phenomenal Middle Eastern home chef! So I can promise I'll whip you up some delicious food from my country and others ice learned abroad.

I can also educate you on the world of dinosaurs and paleontology if it's something that interests you!

And if you have a skateboard or longboard around, I'd be happy to teach you the basics on cruising and carving.
