About Me

CURRENT MISSION

find someone to cook for

ABOUT ME

Well, I think I'm from a good stock after all.
I grew up in a kibbutz, which is a small village like community, unique to Israel.
My kibbutz lies on the marvelous sea of galilee (Most beutiful place on earth, don't mind if i mention), hence my strong connection to water, I practically grew op on the lake.
I'm well wired, have wide knowledge in many areas and i'm allways learning new stuff.
I travelled a lot and hosted people from very different places, so i can say i'm open to almost everything.
More to come...

PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

Mivtsa Safta(operation Grandma), Big Lebowbski (and Cohen Bros in general), some more of the usual stuff-
I listen to Classic Rock, Brit Rock, all rock except for that cheap crapy angry stuff that young people might listen to. I like the combination of Drums-Guitar-Bass a lot. I like to dance to dubstep, hiphop and some pop shit (if well Araq-ed)
I read a lot and I read fast, mostly Quirky novels. Now i'm focusing on Israeli literature, i like plots that happen in places i recognise.
