About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I guess it will come to me someday....

ABOUT ME

I recently started working for a consultancy firm in Tel Aviv, after being a student of management and marketing in the southern city of Be'er Sheva. I like meeting new people, listening to their opinions on matters of importance and unimportance alike, and sharing my opinions as well. I like to mix it up culture-wise and am open to almost anything (except people who are intollerent with other people's race or country and the dutch...just kidding, i love the dutch :)

PHILOSOPHY

"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it"
JOHN STUART MILL, 1866

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS was a cool french dude living in Finland. I was living with a non-CS roomate, and didnt tell him this guy was coming. Two months after he contacted me, I forgot he was coming, and suddenly he shows up at my house when im not there....My roomate was freaked out, but it was funny!

Interests

I like Philosophy, Politics, ALL sports (except cricket and rugby and all other wierd UK oriented sports), parties, bars, and the world of cinema...

Durring the Army I sailed in 10 meter waves (i was a naval officer) from Haifa port to Rhodus (greece), and almost sunk half way there off the coast of Cyprus...
that was pretty cool...

Teach, Learn, Share

A lesson Ive learned and taught:
In many cases, topics that are sensetive to people are usually topics that they know a lot about. It is naive to think you know ALL the details, and youre are usually better off just listening....
