I'm in Israel for the last decade, after spending a dozen years in Armenia, traveling around a part of the world, and having some adventures. I recently moved to Netanya, after living for a few years in Be'er Sheva and Jerusalem.

When at work, I am a computer scientist; otherwise, I practice Taijiquan (mostly chen), go to yoga classes, live performances, reasonably quiet pubs, diverse meetups, and hike and wander around the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing what I have, and having guests --- provided guests can care for themselves when I am too busy or need my own time. I always had guests, and like having people around.

I also travel often, but didn't think about couchsurfing before, maybe I'll try soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught a minister of one of big countries to use computer mouse, and was almost shot by her bodyguards in the process. I am not sure I can name-drop here, but will tell you the story if you ask when we meet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a small but cozy house. The house has two porches, two separate rooms and common space. I have more than one bike, including a spare bike for guests, an electric scooter and a few longboards (with wheels, that is) --- and can share these means of transportation with you.

I can share with you my experience of Israel, Taiji practice, nice places in Netanya and around. OK, I can share with you my time, too, if we find this appropriate.
