About Me

I'm a memberof an Urban Kibutz in Akko, though I live by myself in my own appartment.

I'm a high shool teacher and I love it :).

I'm also a musician, I play jazz guitar and I'm trying to find time to get into composing and arranging music.

Love hiking, love meeting new people, and doing both combined is probably the best!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Try to host as many as I can and lovin' it!

Have surfed Barcelona, Leipzig, Athens, Basel, Moscow and St. Petersburg and met some of the most interesting and kind people you can find.

Interests

Literature, poetry, music (the more challenging and avant-garde the better), social-activism, alternative-education, history, and people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood right next to a nest of Bearded Vultures in the Pyranees, at the hieght of about 2500 m'. It was the most amazing nature expirience of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything. Truly.
But also I believe the kitchen is a cool place to share and exchange culture; So I'd like to cook with whoever I host somthing I never even heared of.
And of course I'm willing to teach one of my specials in the kitchen!
I can also offer a guitar lesson...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A game of Chees, a small Jam session, a nice conversation, and possibly if Im free a tour of Akko :)

Canada, Germany, Greece, Russian Federation, Spain, Turkey, United States
