I'm 28 years old from Israel. i have been playing guitar for about 16 years now, in the recent years focusing mainly on acoustic fingerstyle. other than that i have been training shaolin kung fu for over 5 years now, one of which i spent in china in 2013 and i am now back in china for another longterm stay to keep training. hoping to get good enough to become an instructor back home myself.
i love hiking and nature. i read lots' but almost only nonfiction, mainly philosophy and history (including all kinds of philosophy - western, jewish, eastern, daoism, etc.)
i have also worked on multiple organic/permaculture farms back home and have copmleted a Permaculture Design basic course.
i have a bit of experience in education, worked as a teacher's assistant in a 7th grade special needs class for a year. that was a hard one!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i love the idea of people who dont know each other helping each other out! it gives me hope in the kindness of people (-: and i'm sure it's a great way to meet loads of interesting and new people who love to travel and see different parts of the world and cultures that they're not used to.

movies: huge matrix fan, and wachowsky bro's in general. like kung fu movies and depressing dramas (-: comedies, anything Jim Carrey!
books: philosophy (all of it). books on daoism. History!
