About Me

CURRENT MISSION

whatever

ABOUT ME

After finishing two years of studying in university, i decided to pack my things and head to south america. and now, after several months of travelling, i can say it is an amazing experience. travelling on my own as a backpacker msde me discover a lot of things, places and people that i would not have discover in other circumstances. latin america is a wonderful place!

in israel i live the life of the average struggling student.. i work a lot in order to maintain the lifestyle i like; studying and renting my own apartment in the city of tel aviv, which i believe is the greatest. i am also a political activist, mainly in university. i volunteer once a week in a center for the latin american work immigrants in tel aviv, and i participate in activities regerding what is known as the israel-palestinian conflict.

PHILOSOPHY

wow, that is a hard question.. i am interested in the roots of things, the bottom for me is much more important than the top. i prefere the structure over the content.

being tough

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: i like to read a lot, i guess you can say this is my ´hobby' or whatever.. in this period of my life i read many Dostoevski, Thomas Mann, and espcially Ernst Heminguey. i also like Kafka, Poe, and latin american such as Borges an Quiroga. as part of my studies i read many philosophy, i liked in particular Kant, Marx, Nitzsche, Foucault.

Music: lately i listen a lot to Devendra Banhart. but a lot more as well.

movies: i like slow films that nothing happen in.. i dislike tarantino for example. one of my favourite things to do when i arrive to a new city is to see a film when there is still light outside not knowing when film ends whether it is dark already or still light...

painting: Big fan of Pieter Bruegel the Elder!
