Hi!
My name is Or Cohen, I live in Tel Aviv, Israel with my girlfriend Amanda.
I'm a very friendly guy, love meeting new people, going out for a beer or two, and having friends over in our apartment.
I've been working in a few cool jobs in the last couple of years and will be staring to go to the University this October, to get my degree in Industrial Design and hopefully become a Furniture/Car/Something awesome Designer in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im always happy to show people around and make new friends.
Im very intersted in other coltures, especially ones that are very different from the one i grew up in (Japan for example!), I generally love learning new things (about anything really [: )

Interests

I love playing basketball and soccer (football actually but for you americans.. [; ), and am in love with snowboarding ever since i tried it a few years ago, and cannot wait to go more and more..also online chess is my addiction since i started playing like 5 years ago.
I really like cooking and hosting friends, and also like going out to a chill bar and drink a couple beers.
Ive been playing the drums since I was 10 and especially like playing and jamming with other people.
I love making and building things with my own hands, and especially woodworking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you to play the drums or just play with you even if you don't have any drums (I'll bang on a trash can if i have to :P).
I would love to teach you to play chess if your'e into it (it's an awesome underappreciated game).
I can teach you about Israel and the way the israeli people are (Hint: Not very introverted ;P), and teach you a little Hebrew or Portuguese if you want, too :)
I would love to make you a graffiti style sketch of your name.
