About Me

CURRENT MISSION

People are happy as much as they have decided to be

ABOUT ME

I would categorize myself as just another regular nice guy; I have travelled the world extensively; I like nature, treks, hiking, mountains, lakes, motorized sports, off-road motorcycles, and I have curiosity to experience new places, new cultures, new people and new foods.
I try to travel economically and always seem to be on a limited budget (That’s my life, I guess…)

I am a single guy, no dependant, no baggage, no problems, kind of free spirit. I am trying to maintain a healthy living but not fanatic. A curious person, adventurous in a way, quite open, but not very intuitive. I am non-materialistic person and money is just a mean to survive. Even at my advanced age I try to travel to places, but always try to keep the budget; I hope couch surfing is a good option; we shall see.

I was born and raised in Haifa; then moved to the USA; been here about 20 years, in Chicago and southern CA (LA and SD)

PHILOSOPHY

Human life will complicate itself in direct proportion to the number of devices said to make it simpler…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couch surfing, but I am very honest and reliable, and actually do not need much of anything, other than a bed/ couch/ mattress on the floor/ hammock/ tent in backyard, a quick shower, and a possible cup of coffee in the morning…
