About Me

Engineer by trade, procrastinator by profession. Killing time in Tel Aviv until I figure out where life takes me next.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because people make better, longer lasting memories.

Interests

I like wandering aimlessly through narrow side streets, pausing to mess with any cute cat / dog / bird / insect / water buffalo that comes my way. I also play board games quite a bit, and pretend I have a lot more going in my life than there actually is.

Music, Movies, and Books

I think I've watched Princess Mononoke about 15 times. It took me about 10 views to kind-of get the plot. I start crying every time I see the Inside Out opening sequence. I think I watch more cartoons/Anime (Rick and Morty, Drawn Together, Aeon Flux, AoT, Aggretsuko) than regular shows (GoT, Breaking Bad). I listen to a ton of Japanese music I couldn't name if my life depended on it. My secret guilty pleasure is Vocaloids. I gave away most of the figurines though. I read mostly science fiction. I like to debate whether Heinlein's Starship Troopers premise is valid given what Israel looks like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This question is just... awful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some hardcore Israeli racist jokes and swear words. Would love to learn some in return. If you're going somewhere I've been I'll be happy to bombard you with endless tips about it. Just don't ask me to cook (if you have any standards whatsoever)!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will try my best to laugh at your jokes. Or just buy you a beer. Or both.
I actually don't have a regular place at the moment, and am typically sub-letting. So I won't be able to give you a key. On the up-side, my current place has 3 guitars and a ukulele :)
