Hi, I'm David. I am a Computer Science student living near Toronto. I grew up in Israel and moved to Toronto as a child. I am interested in rambling discussions, exploring new places, learning and trying cool new things. I love football (soccer); both to watch matches and play, and I love just being outdoors in general. I really enjoy attending unique cultural events too! Really, I like just wandering around and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CouchSurfing in order to meet people! I like to travel and meeting local people in new places would be the best way to really see and feel a new place. I've backpacked twice before, both times in South-East Asia for 4 weeks and 6 weeks. I want to experience different cultures for what they authentically are! :)

Interests

• cycling
• hiking
• nature walks
• football soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

I like electronic music (Thievery Corporation, Infected Mushroom) but in general I like anything that sounds good. I enjoy listening to live music a lot.

I don't actually read very much, I prefer to listen to lectures/ talks. I really like Alan Watts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the peak of an active volcano in Bali starting at 2:00 AM to see the sunrise. It was such a satisfying experience and I've had the urge to go on a large-scale hike/climb like this again but there is a shortage of peaks around me in Southern Ontario.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in neuroscience and have a budding interest in Zen from my studies in Buddhist Psychology at University and listening to/reading Alan Watts' books and lectures. I like talking about whatever deeply interests people and some of my favorite memories are from long conversations about seemingly senseless questions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty basic cook but I would be willing to help and do as much as a host would need from me. I am capable of driving automatic-transmission cars if that is of any use. I am able-bodied and capable of helping out with any physical work or cleaning which the host wants.
