CURRENT MISSION

I am still wondering how I should approach this question...

ABOUT ME

Born in Ukraine, lived in Russia for a while, then repatriated to Israel. I love my country! I speak a few languages, have friends all over the world, love working with people. I guess, that's why I decided to be a tour guide in my country. To squeeze all about myself in one box? I hate it. I prefer meeting people face to face.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not into so much writing but I would say that I am trying every day to be a better person and to grow personally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Even though I wasn't involved with this project before, I did have couch (non-surfing) experience when I got to meet amazing people and the same day was invited to stay over. And I did. Learned a lot, had a great experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: classical, jazz (and all its brothers :-)), different types of POP-ROCK.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have the whole list of amazing things I have seen and done. I would mention hang-gliding in Rio, escaping from Hurricane Wilma in Mexico, spending a week in Cuba where 2 people whom I met through Virtual Tourist connections, became very close friends of mine. I love hiking and in the States I've done it quite a lot. What else? My list is really long since I am accumulating these experiences for more than a decade of traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am into practical learning all my life. I am ready to share everything I learned, starting from how to tie your shoelaces :-) and ending with teaching a new language.

Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Mexico, Peru, Poland, United States
