Hi, my name is Tom and I'm 25 years old. I am currently studying Computer Science and Humanities at a unique university called Minerva, and during my four-year degree, I'll be traveling to seven different cities around the world. I also traveled around South America for eight months (a part of the reason I've taken this academic path). I'm now working in Israel saving money for my 3rd year of studies which will take place in Berlin and Buenos Aires, after completing two years spent in San Francisco, Seoul and Hyderabad (India).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking forward to meeting new people, especially locals with whom I could experience a less touristic perspective, get to know the place I stay a bit better and practice the local language a bit.

Interests

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people, generally trying to stay a bit longer than usual in the places I pick in order to get to know the place and the people.
I enjoy good conversation and look for it in my travels. Love drinking beer in a quiet place as well as party hard, depends on the vibe and people. Trying to play football wherever I go in this continent. Love art museums, usually quietly walking around solo with earphones. Reading is a big part of my life.
More to come when we meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
A lot, but most recently the intersections between electronic music/hip-hop beats and jazz,/funk/world.
Generally open-minded to all kinds of music. Recently started learning how to play the piano!

I read a lot and from different kinds.
Recent reads: A Sense of an Ending, Dead Souls, Love in Times of Cholera, Slaughterhouse Five, Sapiens, The Art of
From childhood - Detective fiction (Holmes, Agatha Christie, Boris Akunin, P.D James and more)
Big Harry Potter fan.

Love playing, watching, analyzing and talking about football.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Huayna Potosi in Bolivia, 6088 meters high. Was damn hard but the most incredible view I've seen so far.

Good conversation, good shakshuka (or any other Israeli food) and some Hebrew if for some reason you wish for it.
