I'm a native new yorker but I have been living about 40 years in Israel.. I am married to a Filipina and we have five small children. I love to travel when I have time I am very anxious to show people visiting Israel a bit of the country.. I live a short distance from the sea of Galilee. I love to talk about anything under the sun anyone who comes and also visit my married children to experience Israeli life first hand.. I am an observant Jew but I still love to learn about other people's lives and cultures.. I like different types of music and I myself am a former violinist from my youth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
