About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try my best to avoid the so called "real world"

ABOUT ME

I guess that if I have to describe "all about me" it would have to do a lot with "all about people". Yep, that's my "kick" in life - having interactions of any kind with people of any kind. That's my own little private "meaning of life". does it make any sense?

Maybe that's one of the reasons that In my travels I try to dedicate quite a long time to every place I arrive to - So i'll have a decent chance to get to know the pace of life in that area and to get involved with as much interesting people as I can. I guess that my "people fetish" is probably also one of the things that had led me to become a clinical psychologist..

What else? I guess you can say i'm some kind of an explorer - I like to put myself in crazy, strange, odd and colorful situations. anything that can provide a good story afterwards. An enthusiastic romanticist of life.

I always find myself enchanted by the small and simple way of life even though I was born and raised in the hard-core metropolitan of Tel-Aviv city, so in some ways i'm kind of a mixture of them both - an urban monster and a rural flower.

And now, if I need to "talk business" and not to keep on blabbing about big words, then i'm also a real big music fan, a film buff and pretty much keen to take part in everything that has anything to do with arts. Unfortunately, appart from some creative writing I don't do anything too artistic in my life, but I always make sure I'm surrounded by super-talented people.
Like most other people, I try to do sports (especially basketball and diving) but always feel guilty about not doing enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Only great experiences! always a great measured combination of parties/philosophy/cooking/festivals/outdoors activities and indoor idlness.I find it the perfect way to get to know a new place.

Interests

Cooking. Yoga. Music. Reading.
I like to play a lot with writing and hopefully one day i'll invest much more time and efforts in that field. Watching movies -I used to be subscribed to the local cinematheque for years...
Outdoors activities - diving, sailing, hiking, camping (nothing compares to the feeling of falling asleep underneath open skies full of stars while listening to a running river).
Also interested in science, mysticism, philosophy or any other field which can contribute to a decent conversation, even though I always keep in mind that it's all just words after all...

Back in the days I really loved to party- especially in nature parties. Today I'm not at all what I used to be but I enjoy the taste of a good party every now and then.

Trying as much as possible to come in contact with cultures that are foreign to mine and to be a part of them-at list for a while.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wow, that's a hard one... I never understood how can people list their favorite arts. There are way too many good things out there. I really tried to man up and write something but it started to be way to long! So I'm afraid I can't really play this game... sorry... :)
