CURRENT MISSION Inspire and be Inspired. ABOUT ME At heart, I'm a traveller and a writer. I have a strong passion for both and I've done quite a bit of travel journalism. When I got married and settled down, traveling was put on hold. So I turned towards another passion - the stage. I wrote a stage play about my travels and for over ten years I've been touring the country and the world with my musician partners, reliving my travels on stage. It's called "The Wandering Israeli" ("Ha-Israeli Hanoded" in Hebrew) and this is our website: http://www.wandering-israeli.com. In order to support my family, I also directed my writing skills towards building a Website which has been quite successful. You could probably Google my name and find out more about that if it interests you. This is my personal website: http://www.shippony.com My wife and I have three beautiful girls and I work from home. Sharing the same roof with four women is... well... quite hectic! So now that the girls are bigger, I'm back to traveling (and taking a break from being full-time Dad). As part of my travels, I always try to learn the local language (I've lived in Peru to learn Spanish, in Jordan to learn Arabic, CS'd Russia in an attempt to learn Russian.) For me, traveling is about the people I meet, much more than the places I visit. I don't smoke (but am not bothered by people who do) and I don't drink hard liquor. PHILOSOPHY All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

Hello, world! My name is Tasya (Aleksandra). I host and travel with my son Leo (he is just 4 y.o., but is already an experienced Couchsurfer). I like to learn new things and curious about the world. I don't dream, I plan. Perfectionist and nerd, I mostly prefer to be alone, but I am always up for a good adventure. Oh yes, and I like dogs! They are better than people. Here is my insta if you are interested for some reasons: https://www.instagram.com/self_mom/ ----------------------- ⚠️ MUST READ FOR GUESTS (F.A.Q.): 1. Please, request to stay NOT EARLIER THAN TWO WEEKS before the planned arrival and not more than 3 nights. Life is unpredictable, so let's plan accordingly. 2. We have two CATS and two RATS, so be careful about the fur (don't know if there is an allergy to rats, but just warning) Also Leo is a CHILD, so please be ready for the noise. 3. I fight with DEPRESSIVE ANXIETY DISORDER, so if you are going to advise me to relax, be happy, and make some joga - please find another host.) Otherwise, Welcome 💖
