About Me

CURRENT MISSION

share freedom

ABOUT ME

I'm an undefinable human who appreciate everything that is absurd and full of non sense. I believe that laughter is the highest kind of humanity, so I wish to practice it as much as possible. I have a tendency to think, but I balance it with daydreaming, which is my favorite hobby.
In Babylon, I'm a science teacher. I'm tagged as a secular Jew from birth, and from time to time I redefine it.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to believe that are things that I don't know, and as long there is a void, there's no reason to fight it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to couch surf here and there, in south america, for example. There's no better way to travel than from a local perspective, so I try to give as much as I can to anyone who is coming to visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oh yes. I had a great experience couch surfing so far, it made my trip much more interesting than just following the guide book.

Interests

I love traveling, I really do believe that I'm in my best when I have a backpack on. Other than that, I have a strong connection with the beach and I always like to keep myself near to it.
I like to read, to learn, to think, and sometimes (when it's right) to talk.
I love art in many of it forms and appreciate anyone who decides to share his creativity in the world.
I'm interested in anything that is interesting! and a lot of stuff is...

  • arts
  • books
  • traveling
  • backpacking
  • surfing
  • jewish
  • teaching
  • science
  • tourism
  • beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

The range is wide... some of my favorite directors: Terry Gilliam, Coen Brothers, and Woody Allan. I also appreciate Quentin Tarantino and Lars von Trier. Also like animation movies, Rango is one of my favorite.

When it come to music and books is even harder to define. Just don't worry about it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Galapagos

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some information to share about traveling and tracking in Israel, and in the area I grew up- Haifa or the area of the Mediterranean Shore from Haifa to Cesarea.

I used to work in the HaBonim beach nature reserve, so I could teach you some stuff about this area and it's special habitat.

I also did the "Israel national trail" (a trail that cross the country) by trekking for about a month and a half, so I can give you some helpful tips about trekking in Israel.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Greece, India, Jordan, Peru, Poland, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela

Countries I’ve Lived In
