About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Growing wings.

ABOUT ME

Born in Sasa in 1983 in a somewhat snowy year (like a whole week...that's a lot in here). been around ever since.
I try enjoying life as much as I can (and it's quite enjoyable, I have come to realise) doing a lot of thinking (Nasty habbit...sometimes I think till I go mad) and building stuff and playing my guitar.
I speak rather slowly although my friends miraculously consider me an intelligent person, my eyes sometimes get stuck into a stare.
I have a thing for bare feet.
One thing that makes me happy: Finding fantastic creatures in the sky on a semi cloudy day.
Also, humming birds seem to always arrive when I need something to cheer me up.
Also, watering a basil plant could actually be one of the most rewarding two minutes one can have...(well...maybe not THE most...but it's definitely up there on the list)
:-)
I don't like:
- Camping in Cities
- Cigarette buds or wine glasses with traces of lipstick on them.
- Actually, lipstick in general...
- And not a big fan of high heels.

PHILOSOPHY

an Israeli writer once wrote:
"Whoever has grace within would find grace just about anywhere."
that is the best translation I can give but it sounds better in hebrew :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting and surfing wherever and whenever I am given the chance to.
There are times I need my space though. But be sure to ask. mostly the answer will be yes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every couch surfing experience I've had so far was an amazing lesson for me. I met people I wouldn't have met otherwise and each of them has a story that made my life reacher in a way. It's an amazing project and everyone I meet through it is interesting and kind.
visited 27 states (12%)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We were on a boat in the Red sea, Eilat when suddenly there approached us an amazing little (as little as those things actually get - 5 mtrs long) whale-shark.
We took some snorkels and went for a swim with it. after a while when he got bored he just slowly dived back to the deeps. it was so cool to meet him by chance.
