I live in a small village in Jerusalem Hills in Israel.
I made documentary photography for humanitarian organizations my profession. This was a crazy idea which turned into a fantastic achievement, to my mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a photographer I travel a lot taking pictures for humanitarian organizations. Normally I don't need accommodations but I'd love to meet new friends in new places.
Will happily host open-minded travelers at our location.
