About Me

Born in Israel, raised in both Israel and Germany. I'm what you call a Third Culture Kid (TCK), a cultural chameleon who feels at home nowhere and everywhere, with a very liberal state of mind.

Music is where I find my peace - I'm that guy who knows all about obscure artists, played in bands, released some material, and has an indie blog and radio show. Generally I really love art and culture.

I follow a spiritual practice which is my own thing by now, but from the same roots as Zen and Taoism. I'm vegan but not the kind that annoys people about it, rather the kind that cooks delicious food without animal products.

My day job is doing freelance web development. I'm a geek with hi-tech skills, but having grown up before the Internet I can also be really analog and old school.

When I'm having fun I'm around amazing people, having a drink, getting into deep conversation, going to an indie show or a techno rave, and generally laughing and celebrating this life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
