I took a break from everyday life and went traveling for some months.

I have been since to India, were I volunteered in ashram teaching girls English, then I went to Thailand and Cambodia, and after - to amazing Australia, where I worked on an organic farm.

At present I'm exploring my Jewish heritage, studying in Jerusalem and getting to know this amazing country.

I studied art history, love to do some crafting and work with kids.
Come from a big family (I mean, really big - I have three siblings, all older, and 10 nieces and nephews), and enjoy making new friends, having fun together and living life to the full.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a pro-active traveller, thing, that I appreciate most while traveling - seeing new places not from touristic, but from original prospective.
Some of my best experiences I had while contacting locals.

How dull it seems now, the ordinary, "normal" travelling - come to a new place, check in to a faceless hotel, go eat some ordinary food, next day walk around the place, basing on the "Top 5 things to do in this/that city!". And then leave, not having even met the place for real.

In my view hosting couchsurfers is in a way what allows one to travel even though you are in fact home.
I love having guests at my place, although I just started, I have had only positive experience.
There are no strict rules about staying at my place, just common sense.
