Hi! we are Israeli and Japanese couple living in Rehovot, 30 min from Tel Aviv.
We hosted couchsurfing guests inTokyo and enjoyed meeting people from the world very much, and now try to do the same in israel.

We are friendly and open minded, learning our way to live all the time. We are trying to do only things that make us happy. That's why we travel and do couchsurfing because experience with local people and having travelers to our place greatly enriches our life . We really like to hear the story behind the people, everyone has stories.

Now we'll tell you a little bit of our story (if you want to hear the rest it's only face to face)

I'm Benjamin I grew up in a small village in the northen part of Israel with seven brothers and sisters, I went to high school in the beautiful Golan Heights. I live 7 years at the desert of israel and I've worked in a chicken house farm and then traveled for more than a year until I met Riho.

Riho is from Osaka, loves travelling, running, reading and cooking. It's been about 4 years since she started living in Israel. She's enjoying (and struggling) the total opposite culture from where she grew up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
