About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding Waldo. or Nemo, whoever comes first.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel and deeply in love with my country. I came to Washington for a while after graduating from university and trying to make the most out of this experience before I go back.

I can't describe myself really objectively since, well, you know, I'm me. But I guess I can say that I'm pretty adventurous, willing to meet other people, spontaneous (or at least working on it...)
I love to read, listen to music, run, watch other people working, learn new stuff, hang out with friends, hiking and camping.
I'm pretty shy when I first meet people but once you get to know me you'll probably ask me to shut up. I probably won't.

Since I get a lot of requests and can only host one guest at a time, I have to be a little picky with the requests I accept. It's important for me that whoever I host actually go through my profile (especially the apartment description), so when you send the request - please include in it your favorite booze, so I know you have read this. I'm afraid I'll have to decline general and impersonal requests.

PHILOSOPHY

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them" (Andy, The Office)
