Hi, my name is Yuval, I'm almost 35 years old, and live with my partner, Liron, and 2 cats in a city called Haifa, which is located at the at northern shore of Israel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people, new cultures, and new point-of-views... I guess that sharing really is caring. Especially sharing stories.
I don't like feeling vulnerable, but if that's what inherent to sharing - so be it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sneak into a closed nature reserve in the Golan heights in a pitch-black night for a skinny-dip in one of the natural pools, whilst avoiding random wild boars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn everything, whatever you have to offer, even if it's but a good conversation over a tall one or a cup of coffee.

I can teach you: mindfulness meditation, Hebrew, Russian, some German, some useful Krav Maga defense techniques that can potentially save your life, how to run in a proper manner, and how to make Hummus and other local Israeli dishes, or even some of my mom's dishes (good ol' eastern European cuisine ^^). I'm sure I have some other stuff to pull out of my sleeve.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer whatever I have to teach (see previous section), plus cook for you.
I enjoy cooking for other people.
I'm also familiar with some really basic physical therapy maneuvers, so if something hurts I might be able to help.
Finally, I'm good with kids and pets.
