I grew up in Haifa, Israel in a very well mannered family. i'm a soft spoken out going person with a passion for laughs and connection and almost no skill at producing humourous text.

right now I'm slowly travelling around, looking for places of both growth and where I may benefit those that live there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i believe in sharing and the basic goodness in human beings. if we must all endure the hardships of the modern capitalist world, we might as well do it together and cooperate in providing the basic necessities of shelter and pleasant company to everyone.
we might not be rich or powerful but the little we have can be spread out to accommodate more of us so everyone can have a better existence.
the ability provided to us by the network, to meet nice welcoming people from all across the globe is profoundly astonishing to me. breaking down the illusion of disparities between people based on gender, race, religion, upbringing, nationality, and any of the other insignificant superficial parts of our identity compared to the infiniteness of each of our inner worlds.

Interests

meditation, yoga, embodiment, tools for self-empowerment and interdependency. anything cultural from music to film to books, dance, comedy, philosophy, art and too many other things. science and technology is another major obsession of mine, always trying to study more and understand the world works and how people can manipulate that towards practical goals.
just extra curious in general, guess i never lost that child's wonderment in everything around me.
meeting new interesting people is always on my number one of things to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i saw a 71 year old english woman fighting with her 40 year old indian lover in india. the scene started with her locking him out of the house and proceeded to him climbing the third story balcony to get in and trying to steal her dogs. she was throwing his clothes of the balcony, he was shouting about love and other worldly things and this whole time the indian ocean as a backdrop for this bizarre domestic altercation. can really recommend it.

Teach, Learn, Share

can share some of the wisdom of meditation that I've gathered along the way in my travels in asia, including over a year in Buddhist temples in Thailand and a period of monkhood in those places :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

cooking!
that's my most practical skill by far. i specialize in veg indian cooking and am trying to learn all the rest of them as time goes by.
