Overview
About Me
I am a curious person, and I get my energy from discovering new places and new things.
I am a big believer in positivity, because:
- The eyes see what the brain wants to see
- Your body follows your mind (and vice versa)
- A positive attitude is contageous
What I love to do:
Solving problems (puzzles, riddles, but also business problems).
Learning (about just about anything).
Sports, especially football. I also was a football referee for 8 years.
I love good food. "Good food, good mood".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hotels and hostels are always the same. I want something different.
Had some great experiences with CS in Jordan and Israel, so I'm hooked :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I love tropical music, and music that makes you move. I usually appreciate talent and am not bound by a genre.
Movies: usually the ones with an intriguing plot (Usual Suspects, Shutter Island, Inception, etc.). Big Harry Potter fan as well.
Books: mainly reading self-improvement books (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Drive, The Peronal MBA, Deep Work, etc.).
Love TED talks.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being picked up by a golf cart while hitchhiking in Israel and driving it on the shoulder of the highway, from Haifa to Rosh Hanikra.
Teach, Learn, Share
Topics I love to discuss:
- Personal development

- Entrepreneurship and startups
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love to learn from you through in-depth discussions about self-improvement, entrepreneurship and business. I can give tips about books to read and inspiring movies to watch.
I can share great horror stories from my time as a referee.
And if you ever wondered why the sky is blue, I love explaining these kind of things. But only if you're interested :)
