I am a playful, intellectual artist who loves dancing, loves laughing, and values real friendship and connection.

CURRENT MISSION IN LIFE: Make life happier for me and others

My name translates as "Blazing happiness".

You can google my name 'Shalhavit' and find way too much about me... more than you really need to know. (articles, videos, shows and yes some embarrassing YouTubes but it's all positive. I promise ).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love people.

Because life is an adventure.

And.

Because we can! This world is becoming a better place every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Randomly decided that to bike from Harvard square to NYC. My friend Jazmine decided to join and I figured why not go for the adventure and meet new cool people?

We biked for 3 days straight. It was awesome.

First night we stayed by a nudist couple. Second night was even more wild... I love learning about people and their different lifestyles. It's fascinating. There is really no such thing as 'normal' and it a breath of fresh air.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about YOU. People and diversity fascinate me.

I give seminars about mindfulness and health-psychology. I come from a family of Yoga and Dance teachers. And happy to teach Hebrew as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I just finished a master degree program at Harvard and am currently in the beginning stages of exploring a pursuit in a PhD program.

Do you like exploring? I like learning about myself through connecting and being real. I value hearts and souls.

Judgement free, Box free.

I can train you if you like, or give you nutrition tips as I used to be Miss Fitness of Israel in 2011. I can also give a good Yoga class.

Help you with photography/video/editing skills.

Can help you pretend that every party is your birthday, and learn how to make lots of friends by being mindful and open. Or and learn some cool dance moves.

And help you open up. Why not?
