Hi to all!

I'm Uri, a 32-years old Israeli student currently living in New Taipei City, Taiwan and learning the Chinese language at National Taiwan Normal University (師大). Before coming here, I used to work as a lawyer in large commercial law firms in Tel Aviv. I love traveling, reading, TV series, hiking, cooking and cats (but not cooking cats). I've traveled before to Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, and would love meeting some new friends from abroad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new international friends (both as as a guest and a host), helping fellow travelers (as a host - not hosting currently, as I'm traveling myself) and seeing a country through a local's eyes (as a guest)
