About Me

I love my family and friends and prefer being around people. I got married in april in 2014 and finished my studies in january 2015. As I grew up in an overprotective environment with high expectations to my future and a lot of social boundaries, I didn't see much of the world and it's people in my life. I decided to change that and started travelling.
So basically I am someone who believes that travelling is a way to challenge myself and overcome fears (and of course to learn about the world first hand).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is a more intensive and in my opinion worthy way to learn about a country/city. And as I am curious about new cultures and ways of living, different frames of understanding and world views there is probably no better way to learn about it.

I too had a lot of people staying at my home and enjoyed hosting them and showing them around and believe that gave them a good taste about vienna/ tel aviv.

Interests

Love dancing and eating new/ good food, wandering or driving my scooter around the city‎, listen to stories or enjoying a glass of vine and a terrific view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eurotrip with in a Van and a scooter in the back.

Teach, Learn, Share

Until now I have met some amazing people, that I judged completely wrong by the first impression from their looks. Although this judgement has an important function in social interaction (as I learned in my studies), we should always challenge it and see if we might be wrong.
