About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World tour

ABOUT ME

Happy, funny individual. I like enjoying life and having fun whatever I do :) Makes life a lot easier...
I have a very demanding job and I spend alot of my daytime working - so when I get home I make sure to go and enjoy the nightime as well.
I like easy going people who are funny and enjoy exploring and hanging out.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all OK -
Our problems are not really dramatic, we should treat the bad things in life in proportion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tend to check for CS event prior to travelling to new places, I'd like to meet locals and see the places I visit in a non-touristic way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a wonderful surf in Germany back in 2011 and met some incredible surfers. One of them became a very close friend and I hosted him in Tel-Aviv for a few weeks.

Interests

One of my greatest passions is music and I love going to concerts and live shows.
I can sing and play the guitar fairly well, I'm incredible with lyrics so if I start singing, there's no stopping me...
I LOVE going to Karaoke parties and anything that has Karaoke in it. I perform with a rock-star-ish fashion.

My favorite music is BritRock, BritPop, Indie and alternative. In addition some US Rock/Hard-Rock.
My top artists include Jack White(and the White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather), Alex Turner(and the Arctic Monkeys), Dave Grohl(and Foo Fighters) and Chris Cornell(and Audioslave/Soundgarden/TotD).
Movies I love in random genres: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dogma, Seven, Rocky Horror Picture Show.
My favorite book is Heller's Catch 22. I also like Ayn Rand's Fountainhead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All my exploration abroad revolve around music festivals and concerts.
Moments that I remember the most are shows such as The White Stripes, Smashing Pumpkins, Arctic Monkeys, PULP, Amanda Palmer and Pete Doherty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Hebrew which is pretty exotic. I can also teach Computer Sciences (e.g. software programming) but is it really something you wanna learn? I love it but it's not for everyone.
Would love to learn Japanese.
