About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the best me I can, and enjoying every step of the way.

ABOUT ME

The bare facts are that I am freelance software engineer, working from my home in center Tel-Aviv with one official flatmate and a dozen unofficial ones. I do not smoke, do not have a car and am not married.
Beyond the bare facts, the description gets more difficult. I sleep very little, simply because there is so much to do. Besides work, I am extremely socially active, with my flat often becoming a hostel or a bar. I always look into new endeavors, and try to travel whenever there is possibility. I could go on forever (can you see that I enjoy writing about myself?), but the best way is simply to meet and decide for yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

I attempt to live my life to the fullest. This is not a wish - this is a lifestyle. I try to do as much as I can. I am restless. I always want to improve, experience new things and more than anything else - learn about myself and grow from it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing is the best starting point to explore a new place. I am not interested simply in places, I am interested in people. CouchSurfing is a tremendous way to create first contact with them.

Interests

Football - I play once a week, and am a die-hard fan of FC Barcelona.
Nightlife - Anything goes.
Friends - I can see the same people day after day and still have a great, fresh conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - My main love is to progressive metal, but I have quite a big range around it. My favorite acts are Sweden's Pain of Salvation and Opeth, as well as Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon in particular), Devin Townsend, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Dream Theater and Metallica. But my favorite album of all time is the original London concept recording of Jesus Christ Superstar (the one with Ian Gillan as Jesus).

Movies - My personal top 12 films, which are on a different level to everything else:
Pulp Fiction
Oldboy
The Godfather, Parts 1 & 2
Schindler's List
La Vita e Bella
Lost in Translation
Y Tu Mama Tambien
The Clockwork Orange
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Traffic
Before Sunrise

Books - Favorite books:
Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny
Three Comrades - Erich Remarque
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
