About Me

ABOUT ME

I was lucky enough to grow up in wonderful Jerusalem, city with different people with different opinions, which made me want to get to know other cultures. That's why I have devoted the past four years to learning about various cultures and religions. I am currently between trips, my next destinations will be Europe and the US. I'm sure it's going to be a great experience that I will learn a lot from.

Update: From June 9 to October 1 (2014) I'll be in USA. Hope to meet new people and get to know interesting places. If you can have me or just show me around I would love that!

PHILOSOPHY

"Know that all sentient beings have been your mother,
Ponder their kindness and think of a way to repay it."
-Shechen Gyaltsap

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I will be able to hang out with people who come to the city and show them around. I look forward to being hosted during my upcoming trip to Europe.

Update (2014): Currently I live in Rotem. This is a very special ecological community. When I get back from the trip I'd love to host at my place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined couchsurfing but I feel like I have always been part of it in spirit without having a profile. I always surf my friends' couches and hope to be able to host people in my house when I return from my travels.

Interests

Mostly religions. All religions and everything that has to do with religions. That's why I studied comparative religion.
I'm interested in knowing people from different places and cultures.
When not doing something religion-related, I love to laugh and make people laugh, I love art, I love to paint, I love animals and cooking great vegan food. I love Hebrew poetry and enjoy the company of good friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pearl Jam and.. Pearl Jam. I do listen to some other music but there's no real reason to mention it.
My favorite book and best inspiration is Peter Pan, and movies - basically, whatever Johnny Depp acts in.
