About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Studying

ABOUT ME

I was born in Jerusalem, and raised in a small settelment called "Bet Horon". The settelment is 15 minutes drive from Jerusalem, so this makes it my home city.
My parents taught me Russian, but I'm still struggling with the language.
I like the company of good people and experiencing new cultures and worlds.
I like hiking and sports, or just sitting around with a drink.
Ventured the world, but never been anywhere other than Europe or the US, so I have a lot more to see.
This is my first time living in an apartment and I sure am excited to be hosting surfers around the world :D

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you feel good, as long as it makes your friends feel good too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed for so long, and now I can finally host :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed the US.
But I surfed and hosted long before joining the community. Only I did it with people I already knew... And by this I mean I spent weeks at friends' places and hosted as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm... This will be too long.
I can just say in general about music - I love classic rock. But I'm pretty much open to other music. I just need the music to fit the environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I live in Israel, hehe...
I feel like any experience, or any place can be this "amazing thing". I once been to a random forest near Springfield, MA, during the end of fall. By the looks of it, it should have been a dull walk around a grey, damp forest. But I encountered some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. Beauty can be found in any place, no matter how insignificant it might sound at first.

Teach, Learn, Share

Be happy. Choose your career according to your heart and not mind. The workplace is consuming most of your wake time. You should enjoy it so the money is just a bonus. Don't make it just a money producing drag, you need to survive so you could waste it all on the weekend.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Norway, Switzerland, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Israel
