CURRENT MISSION

Fix the world, one little piece at a time

ABOUT ME

Me, in a nutshell:
I believe in taking the time to experience life to it's fullest. Few things allow this more than traveling to places different than where you live and making new friends. I'm good natured and easygoing, don't really tend to get stressed over anything.

I do tend to be an active traveler (unless I'm at a beachy location, in which case I totally lounge). An ideal day starts with sightseeing or trekking and ends with a beer or two in the local pub or at a friend's house.

A bit of background:
I was born in Israel and lived most of my life here, in Jerusalem (sans two years spent in the states when I was young). I have a real passion for traveling and meeting new people but haven't taken part in the CS scene so far (mostly because I've been backpacking to areas where it's very easy to group up with other travelers you meet).

PHILOSOPHY

Anything you learn from, grow from, is worthwhile. The only time wasted is time in which we refuse to change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, so far I've written up this profile.

Interests

I love books. And music. And movies. I also love talking about these with anyone who shares a passion for them ;)
I play the harmonica (kinda well, I guess), have an interest in photography and enjoy cooking.
I also practice wheel pottery when I'm home.
