My husband, Solal, and I met on Coushsurfing almost 10 years ago. We love hosting, especially if you are in town for academic conferences or political events. If you need a couch, hit us up. We have a baby and his bedtime is 7 o'clock and (even worse) his wake up time is 7 a.m., so we can't sleep in anymore =-/.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in German
Learning Italian
Pioneer Badge
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
