Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Not to waste my youth, see, learn and experience as much as possibile
ABOUT ME
I currently live in Be'er Sheva with my girl friend, but I lived in Jerusalem most of my life and I loved it.
I've traveled the world a bit, among other trips I've spent 8 months in east Asia around 2008-2009, I went there in order to meet new people & see remote places and cultures so it was there that i first used Couchsurfing.
I mostly enjoy going with the locals, public buses & cheap street food, that's the best kind! I enjoy hiking through the wild or just meeting new people.
I also love food, and since the best food will always be homemade and not bought, that leads to my love for cooking :)
I'd be very happy to meet other people who share my passion for food!
I have a bachelor in Computer Engineering & Physics and I'm working on my master at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
PHILOSOPHY
It's hard to define a Philosopy...
I do however believe in living life fully, doing what you enjoy doing.Trying to avoid the masses of the People (The Herd Effect) & Simply having a good time.
I strongly believe that money is just a mean to an end and shouldn't be the guideline for anyone.
I do my best to live with that standard in today crazy capitalist money driven society.
