About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Catch em' All
ABOUT ME
I am a retired treasure hunter who now enjoys spending my time playing music with others who have passion in art, and with my band. I like to share my thoughts about spirituality and to learn and grow from what other people have to say. I am currently volunteering in Israel- teaching English in Primary school and with the community of Bet Shemesh. I hope to travel the world in search of an instrument in which I can express myself on a totally different level- places where I have traveled recently on my mission; Ethiopia, Guatemala, Panama and Thailand.
PHILOSOPHY
If I only knew why I live my life...I definitely wouldn't be making a profile on this website. And that is kind of why I am making a profile- to meet others in hopes of maybe finding my mission in life. But as for now, I just live with the hope of improving this world in any way I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I believe the best way to grow is by talking to people; I believe everything is meant to be and when I meet someone who I connect with on a personal, musical, or spiritual level I try to take advantage of it and give of myself and my knowledge and my love in hopes of impacting others and being impacted by others in a positive way.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've spent time in Guatemala and Ethiopia living in villages with people who barely have a couch to give and they still keep it open with a warm heart. My best experiences in life so far have been staying at people's houses and learning about a different lifestyle...and it's always a plus to be on a comfy couch!
Interests
My main interest is music: Everything about it.
Playing, writing, composing, producing, listening, expressing.
I feel that music is the strongest way to connect people, it's a language that crosses many barriers that are hard to pass in any other way- between people, races, religion, creeds, it's all in the music.
I am also very interested in religion. Learning about my own (Judaism) and others as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
All music. All movies- depending on the setting. And books I prefer to be thrillers.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I woke up this morning. That's pretty amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
hmm...The idea of couchsurfing is in fact not an original concept at all- it dates back to the chapters of our fathers, or Pirkei Avot- a collection of sayings by the Rabbi's about all aspects of life.
In chapter 1 verse 5 it states "Yosi ben Yochanan of Jerusalem said: Let your house be wide open and let the poor be members of thy household"
So couchsurfing is a pretty old school mindset.
