ABOUT ME

My primary vocation is technology, but I am also into arts and sing in a choir

PHILOSOPHY

Striking the balance between unfazed rebellion and true humility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am putting my couch up for anyone. I have hosted a bunch of times, and travelled twice! I prefer hosting for at least two days, and no really late arrivals. (I have stopped doing 1 night stops for people arriving late).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed Italy wit Andrea Guido, a fabouous experience, and visited a genius programmer in Ukraine for a weekend. Had the pleasure to host great people from all over the world, including russian fashion designers, israeli physicists and just plain ordinay people with interesting stories all the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered threshold theory,

It is going to change your life, but I want to tell you personally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've understood part of my childhood trauma and I've decided to forgive and move on.
I've developed out a new way to do astrophysics, and wrote a book about it. It won't change your life, but I did my best and I'm proud of my work. I can also teach you some woodworking.
There is no need to work out the solution of existence. It has already been done. But there is always need for contemplation, jokes, and sharing a glass of wine. There is always a need for a party, a sharing circle and some small talk. Occasionally, it is time for something else. All these things are deeply human.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bottle of wine.
Threshold theory - a theory of why relationships become difficult and what you can do about it.
I enjoy deep and honest conversations.
I might share my bed, but only if you want to, and only if I want to.
