Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Building a Beer pipeline from Bavaria to Israel ! (collecting donations)
ABOUT ME
I'm currently pursuing my Master degree at the Innovation Design Engineering program - Royal College of Art combined with the Imperial College London.
Born in Russia, Raised in Jerusalem, Israel.
As soon as I get the opportunity (not studying or working) I love going on conquests to places I never been to and get to know new people I never met.
PHILOSOPHY
Supposedly we live in an infinite universe, with an infinite number of planets, planets of every conceivable size and shape, that are composed of every possible substance known to man... I think it's safe to assume that at least ONE of these planets, is a planet composed entirely of BEER !!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
When I'm home in Jerusalem hosting and showing around the "Holly City" to my guests is something I really enjoy, knowing that wherever I might travel there will be couch surfers willing to return the favor.. :)
Currently trying to learn as much as I can about London to be able to share it with others!
Interests
I love anything that has any connection with: Photography, Illustration, Interactive Design, Animation aaaand technology!
I'm actually waiting for Google to offer me a huge pile of money to turn me in to a Cyborg and send me on a backpacking trip around the planet as an experiment!
I collect children, comic and design books from all around the galaxy, so if there is a good illustrator / designer u know in your area, let me know, I'll probably ask for some samples.
I also enjoy all kinds of Rock and Electronic Music.
I love Beer, oooohh I just can't say no to Beer!
I'm also addicted to olives & pickles..
I love anything that's colored in yellow!
and... of course I love traveling and making new friends around the globe, be it on land air or water anything goes!!
I love making Short videos, ask me for a link to my YouTube channel!
oh yeh.. and I looooove playing Tetris!!

Music, Movies, and Books
I Love Rock, Metal and Blues music..
but also enjoy listening to some Electronic stuff while driving "CrazyBob" (My 1994 Citroen ZX) at night. And also while in a mood for a late night party or if I need to concentrate on some really important task at work/school...
Techno, Trance, Dubstep, Dark 80s synth sounds , got em all on my playlist!
*Update: Crazy Bob Has become really sick and quite impossible to ride anymore (at the age of 15) :(
so I sold him to Mustafa from East Jerusalem..
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My top 5 Amazing/Crazy experiences are:
1. Night Sledding in Garmich Partenkirchen, Bavaria after few Jeger shots & don't remember how much Bier
2. Colombia to Panama - 5 days on a sail boat with capt. Mats
3. Week of Tubing in Vang Vieng - Laos
4. Easy Riding down the Ho Chi Minh trail - Vietnam
5. Hiking the Tajumulco volcano, Guetamala
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach u how to fix and build different things, I can be really creative about that, with an experience since the about the age of 5, trying to figure how things work, I learned to take many things apart and even put some of them back together.
I can also introduce you to the world of Computer Graphics , Illustration and all that attractive looking design stuff..
