Hey! My name is Uri Gal, currently I'm a student in israel's de facto capitel, Tel Aviv.
I like meeting people from different cultures and lifestyles, I love taking adventures and franticly aiming to fit them in whatever trip I'm on. I liketo have long conversation with spontaneous people I meet on the way and would love to have much more!

I love scuba diving, hiking and nature in general. I also love being introduced to new cities and going out to local bars and night life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I was in northern Sweden, I met a woman from Taiwan heading for a couchsurfing experience in a little town named JokkMokk. I ended up joining her and this was my first couchsurfing experience, I really liked it!
and when I hiked in Corsica I was hitchiking to the start of the trail and was invited to sleep In the most cozy rural house! both were great expriences that I would like to try and repeat, so here I am!
I love meeting local people and immersing in local perspective, eating local food and hearing local stories.
I want to prove to myself that couch surfing is an ideal traveling platform and would lbe glad for your help😁

I have hitchiked from genoa to portugal and fthen from genoa to berlin. I hiked in Corsica and also north of the arctic circle , I've been alone in europe for 7 months and trained my belgian sheperds to pull me to the sea on my longboard.
