About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet interesting people from all around, make music everywhere i go and just have adventures

ABOUT ME
Musician, love the CS idea and helping fellow travelers around, even if I can't host at the moment i'd be more than happy to show travelers around, a lot of fun pubs here, cool parties, awsome people and beautiful places to see. I live in Hod HaSharon, it's a small city about 20 minutes ride (in car without traffic) to Tel Aviv, and you can get train\bus to Tel Aviv fairly easily. plus if I have time we could drive up north as I like to do once in a while and see the real beauty of Israel!

if you're a musician - i have my studio with amps and stuff and my drum kit of course, so you're always invited for a jam - beer is on me ;)
and well, just feel free to msg me about anything, glad to answer questions and help if i can.

PHILOSOPHY

it doesn't matter where you're from, we all live together on this tiny planet.. I try to respect religion, but i'm mostly against it, so it'd be best not opening that dead-end discussion :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled through England Scotland and Irelard, mostly by couchsurfing.. was absolutely fantastic. again in Amsterdam had a few chances to surf and meet people in all sorts of awesome meeting. other then that just helping people with my couch whenever I've had the chance and getting to feel like a vacation at home. Either couchsurfing is amazing or I got very lucky, but every single person I met through here was great hosts/surfers or traveling buddies.

Interests

music, and some more music. other than that? too hard.. i appreciate good movies, love animals and dogs in an extreme specific, 420 friendly ;) always up for a good talk. i try to stay open minded, so it's all good :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

that information is classified :P

Teach, Learn, Share

As for teaching you stuff, I actually teach drums for a living so I better be able to do that. Some guitar as well, card games, some specific cooking dishes and 3-balls-juggling :)
Very much into learning languages and all about different cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't like coming to hosts empty handed. Alchocol or food to cook is the basics for what me. But if I'm hosting you - just bringing yourself and washing your own dishes is great! ;)
