Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I want to try as many things as I can
ABOUT ME
I like to try new things. I am a part time photograper, and a full time PhD researcher (In psychology). I study how people make decisions in several situations and how it affects them. My main interest in my study (and life in general) is happiness (in it's many formations).
Aside of that - I play the guitar, I like sports (running, cycling, used to rollerblade...), dancing clubs, drinking with friends, and ofcorse - traveling ;)
PHILOSOPHY
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.
Seriously now - I think you can learn new things from anyone. It's always interesting to listen to someone else's philosophy if he/she cares to share it.
I believe there's a lot in life I haven't experienced yet and I would like to try as much as I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I get to meet surfers through hosting in Tel-Aviv almost every week/two (when I have time...).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I think couchsurfing is genius! It changed my traveling and living experience many time, and always for the good! It's a great way to learn about other cultures and enriches your knowledge in many fields.
I met a couple from Croatia through couchsurfing (my friend hosted them), and I traveled with them a few times since then (with my friends, and once with a girlfriend). This is for me the ultimate couchsurfing experience - keeping in touch and travelling together when possible.
Other than that - some of the nicest people i've met were through couchsurfing, even when we didn't get to travel together afterwards ;)
Interests
Photography, Music (guitar, singing), sports (running, cycling), science (biology, math, and various fields of psychology - decision making, happiness, motivation...), and much more (to name a few more - lucid dreaming, mindfulness, cooking, computers, humor...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cycled through the alps, from Munich to Milan, alone - just me, my bycycle, and my stuff (which included my camera ofcorse ;)
It was phisically and mentally chalanging, but I took some nice pictures, seen amazing views, met some very nice people, and experienced a truely unconventional trip.
Singing and playing the guitar in front of a live audience - not an easy task for me!
Trekking the Himalayas in Nepal - wow...
Living in Tel-Aviv :)
Teach, Learn, Share
1. A change is good, even if the only thing you've learned is that you shouldn't have changed...
2. One life, live it well.
3. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.
