About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it through the day with hard work, and after that - go see some other worlds.. and make it better

ABOUT ME

There's no place like home, but everytime I come back I start again dreaming of the next trip in my mind.

I work as a capital markets editor/ In the past was working in a cowshed in the Kibbutz where i was born, milking cows; Worked for a long time in a fishfarm in the northern Orkney islands of Scotland; Was waiting in a few restaurants as a student; Worked as a translator for an Israeli-Palestinian unity. and more, who knows what's next.

PS I'm openly gay, but any gender/preference are welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't represent my country. I'm a person who lives in a very complex place but trying to survive this Jungle with some sanity. Please don't be judgemental and try to understand the big picture and the everyday people's story, not what shown on TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed snowy Ben Nevis, Highest mountain in Scotland, in the middle of winter..
Clapped my hands for an hour in a circle of old ladies in the middle of a park in China.. fun.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook very well, would able to bring some tastes from the Mediterranean kitchen as well.

I'm very self sufficient and don't need a lot besides -

A good intellegent conversation. I'm into politics, music, gender issues and identities, anthropology and cultures, and - THE meaning of life!

In my room there are linen, couch to sleep on which is fairly comfortable, air-con (of course!), and a very central location in Tel Aviv.
