I am currently based in Manchester but will be starting my Russian adventure in the next months!

I did my PhD in physics at Imperial College London, and now I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at Tel Aviv University. I love hiking, writing, reading and dancing. I am a passionate hitch-hiker and so far I have hitched rides in Australia, Iceland, Israel, Corsica, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Jordan, Palestine and the UK.

I'm increasingly playing music, I've played various gigs in America, Israel and the UK. Here's a video of a song I wrote:

I hosted an open mic night in Tel Aviv - if you want a chance to play your music live, let me know!

I have organized rock climbing trips from Tel Aviv to Ramallah, in Palestine. If you are interested in rock climbing in the West Bank, let me know and I will put you in touch with my friends there.

I also have connections with Bedouin hosts in Jordan, in the Wadi Rum. If you plan to go to Jordan I can put you in touch with some good desert guides.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet people who know the secret places, have the local knowledge and want to share ideas with an Englishman.

I want to see the whole world :-)

兴趣

Long distance running, literature, philosophy, mountaineering, music of all genres, rugby, scandinavia.

I am also developing a travel YouTube channel. Here's a one-take shot of Tel Aviv on Yom Kippur:

Any suggestions/requests for new videos on Tel Aviv? Hit me! I'll film it!

Also stay tuned for some videos on the nature in Palestine.
