About Me

ABOUT ME

Originally from Israel, been living in US since 2007.
I spent a good chunk of that time studying music composition in California and now I get to write music for various projects and be involved in fun things.
I work odd jobs, mostly sound/music related to pay the bills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've mostly surfed, and hosted, and I spread the gospel of couch-surfing whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Overall, fantastic. Met amazing hosts and friends of hosts and that's gotten me to some unexpected places, physically and in the metaphorical sense.

Fell in love with couch surfing from my first couch surf in Iceland. (thanks, Vala and Thorgnir!!) I couchsurfed around the San Francisco bay area when i was apartment-less for two and a half weeks looking for a home, and learned the incredible extent of peoples generosity. I've made some great and substantial friendships off of CS. It's my favorite use of the internet. changed my life. for real.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a one legged man with a three legged dog in San Francisco.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk your ear off about various musical traditions, their structures and significance to the point of exhaustion. I can show you how to stretch pizza dough by tossing it up in the air! but these are the only two things I can do.

I can't fold a shirt to save my life. don't ask me to demonstrate.
