About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's a bit silly I know. But my current goal in life is that wherever I go, wherever I am, someone, at some point, will ask me this question:" are you a little bit drunk". And I will answer, always with a smile: "no, that's just how I am".

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded extremer :-) I Actually enjoy straggling to learn new things from every source of information, whether it is playing an instrument, climbing the Everest or cooking Chinese food. I love to smile, to ran in the rain, to tell jokes, to hear ones. my final goal in life is to end war and starvation and I am pretty sure it is not going to happen in this life time :-) but one can never know. I love to love and I'd love to meet you cause you have a life time full of experiences that you can share with me. and I have a life time full of experiences that I am anxious to share with you

PHILOSOPHY

My goal in life, as I see it, is to see as much of this world as I can manage- I want to travel all continents, see the ocean from every direction , meet and know any man and woman alive. I want to meet you, know your thought and wishes, know what makes you happy.
I wish that I could do all that; I know I can't but I can at least try.
this is a sentence I really like, please read it:
"if you live with no fear of the future and no regrets of the past. if you except the fact that you own nothing and do not have to be anything that you aren't already. then you are truly free!!!" :me :)

Interests

I am a part time writer- short stories mainly and one novels. I play the guitar and the piano and going on a track out of the city every month for me is like taking a breath while swimming. I live out of music, can't tell you which kind cause I'll discriminate so many others. I am very interested in psychology, I love to analyze people, I find that I can almost always hear the truth that is said when I ignore the words that are spoken.
I also love photography- for me, standing in front of a beautiful scene and realizing that I forgot my camera is like standing in your brother's wedding and realize that you forgot the ring

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was circumcised (Yeah....awouch..)

Teach, Learn, Share

One of the most magnificent things that this trip made me understand is how much all the things that I know and take for granted are not common knowledge at all but rather information that will intrigue people who didn't grow up in the same place as I.
I can teach you to write and speak Hebrew, I can teach you music, I can practice Yoga with you but this is the most important thing- I can explain to you what it is like to be Jewish, to live in Israel, to go to the army and to war though being a pacifist. what it is like to have a different life then yours and yet to have so much in common--
that is my trip...that is my journey
