About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning all about Japan

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living in Jerusalem, where I work for the UN as a human rights officer. When living abroad it becomes normal to spend your vacations back home, and so you don't often go to explore new places. At least that is how it has been for me. But now that changes, and I am preparing to visit Japan and as many of its wonders as possible

PHILOSOPHY

I mix parts of existentialism with some social constructivism and a dose of Kantianism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many surfers during the years, but I have never surfed before myself. I hope to get this experience now and meet some interesting hosts in Japan

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy keeping contact with those surfers that I really connected with

Interests

Some of my favourite activities include skiing, juggling, asking people too many questions, discussing philosophers and sociologists without reaching answers, improvising a ballad on my saxophone, cooking for hungry friends, playing board games, and taking refuge in literature.
