Hi! I'm Tal. I live in Israel and love traveling in and out of my country. When I was younger I used to live in California so my English is fluent. After graduating high school I did a gap year in Jerusalem which had to do with getting involved in the community, studying about different subjects (such as politics, gender, philosophy and lots more), volunteering and traveling a lot around Israel while studying about different parts, people and history of it.
After that year I joined the IDF (compulsery for all Israelis) and served for 3 years. After my release from the army I set off to travel around the world for a year backpacking, solo travelling and working sometimes in Asia and Germany.
Today I live in Jerusalem right in the city center, studying Law and Social Work in the Hebrew University.
I'm vegan and love cooking and trying new things!
Hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think it is an amazing platform for so many things I'd love to do! As a host I'll be helping travelers, intoduce Israel to people around the world, meet new friends. As a guest I can experience the places I visit truly from the "inside", travel on low budget and open up to different cultures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling in southern India with a van was an amazing experience!! We were 5 friends and we traveled for a whole month staying in villages that never saw tourist, eating only local food (with our hands of course..), meeting amazing people and cultures, seeing mesmerizing views! I loved the advetures part of it, not knowing what's ahead of us but being confident it will be fun and exciting. I loved how we took any opportunity for a new experience. I still have all those in my mind while traveling.
