About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread Love and Music

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician seeking to spread the the good energies and bliss of music & drumming all over the world.
I'm an owner of a professional recording studio in Tel Aviv, Israel. I have played, worked and performed in most big events and venues in Israel and was on the adventure of making it in California Bay area for six months. I'm a heavy Reggae Rasta head but just cut off my dreads a while ago. I love people and human heat, I get very excited from new places and different cultures or ways of thinking and love to learn anything anyone would teach me. Right now I'm in between Europe and Israel and I travel a lot... I'm a smiling person with a lot of mellow motivation and energy, I love being active but just not to rush or be careless.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good and good will come to you!! Spread the message of love through the language of Music.

Grow your own, know the energy you put in your body

I'm Vegan, meaning the body is the temple.

Love is the light, the river, the life force inside each and every one, don't mix it with emotions and feelings or thoughts and actions, just let it grow inside like a flowing stream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Back in I srael I opened my account for people to come stay at the big house my parents have, where I used to live, but no one ever asked.... It is still available especially now because my room is free and my parents(which are the most adorable people in the world!!!) are there and they would love some company :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was when a good friend of mine was hosting a German tourist in his Tel Aviv apartment. It was great!!! The guy was sooo cute and he enjoyed our jams and active living...

When I got to Berkeley I got to an amazing Co-op here near the U.C campus through couch surfing. My request was accepted by a girl who lives there and in the past six weeks I've spent there only 4 nights, not in a row, but I'm there almost every day, I formed a house band and I'm helping there with workshifts and house improvement projects. This is the most amazing experience of my life in the most incredible place(it's just Hot Tub week now)filled with the most amazing people, young, fresh and pumping!!! I ended up making (producing & recording) an album(CD) of some 80 tracks played by the Co-ops' habitats and bands including myself, as a gift to their amazing hospitality and inspiration.
so Thank you Couch Surfing this is a dream come true!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Positive thinking is a key to survival. I'm learning right now as I'm in "survival mode" and out of my comfort zone. The only way to preserve your energies, is to use them wisely and to get what you want when you want it is staying positive no matter what.

Each one has its own way of doing that, I just give praise to my creator and give thanks for all that I have and know deep within my heart that I am protected nourished and safe by divine intervention. This way it's much easier for me to focus on staying positive and practicing the law of attraction.

How to make good Hummus!!! 11 easy steps, here we go...

1)First of all hydrate Chick Peas (Gerbanzo Beans) for 24 hours.

2)After that spill out the water and put all the peas in a pot with just a bit of olive oil.

after one minute of cooking fill the pot with hot water and let it sit in almost boiling water for 2-4 hours.

Now comes the fun easy part. If you don't have time, energy or the will to hydrate and cook you can just open a can of Chick Peas and start from here, step 3.

3) Preheat for one minute a pan with olive oil, and put all the Peas inside(without the water!!!only peas).

4) Cook on the pan for a few minutes until you see the shells come off and the peas are very soft.

5) Turn off flame and mash all the chick peas!!

6) Add mashed garlic.

7) Add raw Tehini (Sesame butter).

8) Squeeze a whole lemon on top and stir.

9) Add Cumin, Paprika, Salt & a bit of ground black pepper.

10) Add water and stir. repeat until you get the texture you want the Hummus to be. Be careful not to put too much water.

11) Add some Cilantro, Zaathar and olive oil on top, et voila!!!
