Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Remember that happiness is not a destination, but a means of travel.
ABOUT ME
A rover of the east. lived in Israel all of my life, though I've been to an incredible journey in Europe.
I Just recently moved to Jerusalem - And it's amazing discovering it more and more in time. I enjoy meeting new people and can get along real well wherever I am, and always appreciate a good beer!
I always had a strong attraction towards Europe - from landscapes to culture, history and landmarks - A continent full of amazing experiences, with an interesting touch to it. Although the Middle East has its unique charms..!
PHILOSOPHY
"No one wants to die unscarred".
I believe that everything has a reason to it, either good or bad. We carry our scars from the past in order to learn from them in the future, and should have little regrets to our way of life as we choose to live it - so live life as you see fit, and let the winds carry you where they will.
Eventually, every experience shapes us.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After having the best experiences a backpacker can hope to have in Europe, and having a place of my own, I'm ready to host whenever possible, and share a pint even more often!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Met the craziest, funniest, welcoming, interesting, outstanding people so far - And I have a strong feeling It'll stay the same in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books
Classical Rock is a genre that people should give more respect to, and has a heart-moving effect on me..
I also listen to Metal, Electronic, Jazz, and ethnic-world music.
A person who appreciates good music is a person I can very much relate to, for what is life without its soundtrack?
I read a lot (mostly in Hebrew, sometimes in English), and enjoy translated writings more than those of local writers..! Once I start reading a book that seizes me I cannot quit or read other books until I'm done.
Some of my favorite books are "Roadside Picnic", "Venus in Furs", "Islands in the Stream" (Hemingway is unmatched), and "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
I usually don't watch television, and rarely go to the movies - But nothing beats a good movie that leaves an impact on you after view, or even a cult comedy to watch with friends. I usually enjoy the deep-impact movies, such as "Black Swan" (which I enjoyed terribly..!)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I participated in the Red Bull Flugtag 2011 in Israel, as the commanding officer of the flying machine "The Dreadful Unicorn of Kfar Saba".
We flew about 6 feet. Totally awesome.
I used to work once as a welder, working heavy metals!
I baked brownies, which came out pretty good! That's a personal achievement
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach the basics of guitar playing, either classical of electric.
And due to extensive video-gaming experience, if you're stuck on that one final boss on the last level of that game - I will conjure a way to victory!
