About Me

World traveler currently living in Tel Aviv. Taking a break from work at the moment to see what life has to offer. In the recent past I've immersed myself more deeply in meditation, ecstatic dancing, plant medicine, and bodywork. I'd love to meet like-minded people to talk about those topics, or different-minded people so I could discover something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to keep traveling and meeting new people my entire life and I think that Couchsurfing is a great platform to do so. I've met some people from the site in South America, both in Argentina and Chile and I've had a really great time. I want to be able to host and be hosted and take this awesome experience further.

I enjoy speaking a foreign language and to tell people about where I come from and also listen to their personal stories and history.

Interests

Explore the world fully, with all of it's people and wonderful places it offers. I love to enjoy a good hike in nature, going to a small cafe and read a book, go out for a run and listening to some good music and I basically pursue whatever makes me happy.

I'm a walking movie encyclopedia, if you need a recommendation for a film or you can't remember an actor's name, I'm the guy to ask. I also like to go to the cinema a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books

Radiohead, Beck, Blur, Gorillaz, Asaf Avidan, Glitch Mob, Alt J, Ratatat, Gramatik, Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Donnie Darko, Vanilla Sky, Inception, Whiplash, Birdman, Kick-Ass, Crazy, Stupid, Love.

The Shadow of the Wind, A Song of Ice and Fire, City of Thieves, Shogun, The Wind-up Bird Chronicles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? :)

A guy I met in Las Vegas gave me a ride on his small airplane, just met the dude at a hostel and the next thing I know is his looking at his maps telling me to keep it at 4500 feet, that's pretty high on my list, but I'll save some more good stories for a meeting in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good with cooking, and I can make a really good Creme Brule.

I can answer a million questions about Israel.

I'm always looking for people to practice my Spanish or Russian with, I can also teach you Hebrew!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything geeky, hi-tech, pop-culture-y.

Stories about traveling, perhaps singing something together, share a beer and having a good conversation about anything at all.
