About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every minute of what this amazing continent has to offer me

ABOUT ME

I'm about to finish a double degree in Law & Economics and start my internship this coming September (2009). I know this makes me sound like a really serious person but one of my big addictions is traveling and meeting new people. I try to travel as much as I can and get exposed to new places and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every day of your life as if it was your last day.
If you smile to people, people will smile back at you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently on a student exchange program in Melbourne and don't have place to host travelers, but I hope that when I'm back in Israel I'll be able to host after settling down in Tel Aviv.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing project, however I have participated in some of Melbourne's group events such as the pub crawl, a tour to hidden graffiti alleys and watching Cirque Du Soleil. It was a great pleasure spending time like a local in each and every one of those activities, I felt like I'm really getting to know the city and not just the touristy places. And the best part is that I made a few really good friends!

Interests

Horse riding, rock climbing, cycling, snowboarding, hiking, camping, dancing, reading, foreign movies going to the theater and photography.
