Overview
About Me
I can take you to a cool language exchange event, go salsa dancing or just hang out in Ramat Gan/Yarkon park. If you're into street epistemology, rationality and/or NVC I might know where to take you.
I usd t host a lot. I don't host now but I am planning to start hosting again after I move to a more convenient flat.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I used to be a volunteer for Moscow hospitality exchange community in 2005-2009 and organize Jazz CS events in Cancun in 2011-2012 I sometimes organize CS events.
