I'm doing my PhD at the University of Cambridge, researching how to give the internet a brain. Love meeting new people, learning from them, making connections, and talking nerdy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For hosting, to meet new people from around the world, learn from them, and share the love I have for the city of Cambridge.

For surfing, again to meet new people from around the world, exchange ideas and talents, and to get to see a place from the eyes of a local.

Interests

I love films, I've seen too many to count, I adore classical art and architecture but I'm learning to appreciate modern stuff more and more. I'm also technically an engineer and mathematician, and my field is "complexity science", where I try to understand literally everything all at once. It's difficult, but I get to combine things ranging from philosophy to mobile phone protocol to answer my questions, so I love it.

Lifelong martial artist, trained in different martial arts styles, but I mostly lift weights now.

Philosophy, politics, religion, spirituality, literature, art, all things I love but am pretty crap at, but we don't have to be good at what we love, do we?

• literature
• technology
• martial arts
• entrepreneurship
• mathematics
• art
• massage
• dance
• film

Music, Movies, and Books

Massive movie fan, love too many to list. One beloved one that comes to mind is "Cabaret". I will gladly watch anything together with you, and my movie nights are legendary.
For books I prefer sci-fi, self help, or anything that shows you a world and gives you an idea to understand that works better. I would recommend, "Stranger in a Strange land", especially in this time where we need more human connection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

See the Wieliczka Salt mines. An underground salt palace, chapel and mine. Crystal salt statues, vast caverns, saline lakes. A fairytale.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Cambridge student, and whomever I host must experience a Cambridge formal at my college. Fabulous halls, good food, amazing company, it's the most English thing ever. I love to show it off.

I love learning and hearing others' stories. There's nothing more powerful than a new perspective - even the smallest ideas become revelations to another. Speaking and experiencing a place with someone new, then, is one of the best things in the world, so let's do that!

Practically, I can't play an instrument to save my life, so please, teach me to make music. Alternatively, I can teach you how to dance or fight with someone, or if you have a recipe to exchange, my family Challah recipe. To host someone for Shabbat is a mitzvah, they say, so maybe even that is an option.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The real Cambridge student experience. Come dine with me in my college, see the insides of Cambridge. A real English village home, soft bed and bedroom, copious quantities of liquor. And good conversation.
