About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Launch my Travel vlog! Here’s what’s up so far:

ABOUT ME

I worked for the last 5 and a half years as a news correspondent and anchor in Israel. I've now decided to quit my job and launch a travel vlog/blog, with an emphasis on the history and culture of the countries I visit. That's why I need you, you legend of a host, to learn about the untold stories of your country, so I can create unique and epic content!

PHILOSOPHY

Find a life mission and let that be your master structure that you build step by step. But take it easy! It's a marathon, not a sprint...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted at my home in Tel Aviv and also been hosted by some great people abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted and being hosted and both were great!

Interests

I'm something of a history fanatic and I just love reading up about the countries that I visit. I really hope to translate some of that passion to my vlog!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I live in an area of the world in great conflict, I think it is crucial we always look at both sides of the conflict, check the facts and the evidence and be wary before we make statements and condemnations. Do not judge people by their religion or ethnicity, only by their actions and respect to others

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you a lot about the behind-the-scenes of the news industry. Filming and editing of reports. Life in Israel, and some fascinating facts about Judaism (even though I am not religious)

Countries I’ve Visited

Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Slovenia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Austria, Israel, United States
