About Me

An optimistic, well-traveled, open-minded, multicultural, a bit geeky kind of guy,
with a calm spirit, a healthy pinch of cynicism and a curious look on life;
love traveling, passionate about technology and innovation and enjoy an interesting conversation or movie with a glass of wine.
I am enjoying life in a moshav (small village) near Rehovot, and even taking care of few cats.

Note: my place is located half an hour from Tel-Aviv, 40min from Jerusalem,
and it is easier to arrive by car than by public transport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My life has completely changed after my first couchsurfer (a somewhat stubborn girl) had refused to leave my apartment. So I let her stay for half a year and as a result we became very close friends :)
I had wonderful experiences and adventures ever since!
