About Me

Currently living with my parents in Haifa. Moved out of my apartment in Tel Aviv, as I'm on summer break. In a few weeks I'm moving back to Tel Aviv, to the dormitory of Tel Aviv university. Hope I could host there :)

Second year student in classical composition at the Buchmann-Mehta music's academy of Tel Aviv university.

I'm a pianist, and enjoy any kind of music. Aside from music, I'm also into fine arts, especially comic books.
When I'm not studying, I like to spend some time with my family and close friends, go to concerts, and sometimes for a little trip somewhere. I play keyboards in a rock'n'roll band called "Oded Weiss and the Periphery".

My favorite sport is Yoga. I try to practice every day on my own, and with a Yoga group as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing to make my travels more interesting and unique.
When I was traveling with my family, I'd always have a better time when we'd meet some friends along the way. When I traveled abroad with friends, we've couchsurfed, and I can't imagine how that trip would've been, if we hadn't met all those wonderful people. From that point on, I knew this is the best way to experience a new country. It is also an opportunity to gain a fresh perspective of your own, when you're helping guests and show them around.
So yeah :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a trip to Germany with two friends, and cycled along the Rhine with them, all the way to the Netherlands.

Teach, Learn, Share

When it comes to music, we could talk all day long- Bands, singers, players, music history, pieces, composers, music theory...
If you're interested in fine arts, there's also some to discuss. I am a high school graduate in art, and used to be into comic books.
