Hello, my name is Alex, 29 years old, an Israeli with Ukranian origins (because the word "origins" sounds more sophisticated than reading the word "parents"; yes I am well aware that I just used "sounds" and "reading" in the same sentence, call it synaesthesia)

A lost soul, procrastination expert or a deadbeat. It all depends on perspective. One thing I am not is lazy, and I like physical work more than I like memorizing biochemical pathways for the exam. I love discussing all subjects within the realm of math, science, and programming, technology, languages, dancing, music, neurology, religion or anything really...

I am an open-minded stubborn individual who is very nice once you get to know him; Occasionally I am very nice on a first impression as well :D

Only thing I have trouble with is the academic environment which I found a hard time to endure, and focusing on finishing my thesis left me without a real place to live in for the few last weeks of my stay in Germany.

(Just came from an Erasmus in Poland, recovering from a post Erasmus depression)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Meeting people, everyone is interesting, even if they believe otherwise about themselves; I do not like staying in one place for too long, things get a bit too stale that way.

音乐、电影和书籍

books:
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - Oliver Sacks
Phantoms in the Brain - Ramachandran(hope I spelled this f'ing name right)
Elon Musk - Ashlee Vance
Fifty Shades of Grey - Sasha Grey [just kidding, too many people recommended against it to me, so I'll skip that one. Besides, I can write better, do not tell anybody though]

anything nonfiction modern really.

yesbutwhy.com - good site if you like reading long articles with pictures to explain scientific and technological shit well. Unlike the usual approach carried in the news by idiots, for idiots, in the mission to keep the idiot population high and stable.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Anything I am proud of doing is not for public concern really; It would be quite boring to speak about it anyhow.

教，学，和分享

We sleep so our biological cell waste gets cleaned from the area around the cells so they can function better, kind of like cleaning the engine and switching oil. When we sleep, neurons shrink and allow a fluid(cerebrospinal fluid) to come between the created space for the cleaning to happen.

Nobody knows shit, only in humility courage can we truly learn something new without

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Either hilarious jokes, intelligent conversations, or lots of frustration, depends on my mood. I will keep the house clean as a gratitude.
