I'm into trying new things, meeting new people and getting an authentic feel for places I visit. I'm passionate about 3rd wave coffee, street food (especially Jewish), occasionally smoking hand-rolled tobacco and joints, long walks, and live music.

I'm a product designer and developer for the web. I passionate about useful, aesthetic, and understandable design in any form. Also, I'm an atheist and supporter of libertarianism (political philosophy of freedom and peace) and stoicism (ancient Greek philosophy of happy life), but I respect your beliefs and won't impose mine.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

On my last journey, I've been to India for a month and met many good people from different parts of the world. It was a real pleasure to share my time, meals and laughs with them. It was exciting and inspiring and felt more like an adventure, not a vacation—so that's why I decided to try to CS, to explore the world not only through places but people.

音乐、电影和书籍

Mostly I listen to new music and open to any genre, but can give some examples of my favorites:
Beatles—The End
Regina Spektor—Apres Moi
Radiohead—The National Anthem
Daft Punk—Giorgio by Moroder
White Stripes—Little Acorns

Movies:
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
The Matrix (only the first one)
Almost anything by Wes Anderson
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (it is an anime)
True Detective

I don't like horror movies, or anything very gory.

Books:
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy
A brief history of time
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
Animal Farm, 1984
Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman

Good conversation, experience, and maybe even some funny jokes or witty quotes (but I doubt it).
