Up until a few years ago I'd been a full time musician - concert pianist / soundtrack composer - but I left that behind as a hobby, and now I'm currently studying software development :) I traveled around Europe, Australia, New Zealand (best month of my life) and a bit of East Asia. I seriously love meeting new people, playing Disney songs with my drunk friends, writing superb code, discovering music so weird I can't trust Spotify to understand what it is and recommend similar stuff, being OK with the fact I often forget what else I wanted to write.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I dunno. I work in a hostel at the heart of Tel Aviv, hosting tourists myself seems like a natural extension of that. Besides, I'm thinking of doing the nomad-laptop-programmer thing when I finish my studies. Might as well meet some people while I can.
Music, Movies, and Books
Frank Herbert's Dune. Boards of Canada / Debussy / Genesis / Son Lux / Rautavaara / ...??
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Didn't overcook my morning egg for a few weeks in a row.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My stuff. Also my job is essentially to know where the cool places in Tel Aviv are, so I could show you around.
