CURRENT MISSION

Go on a 6-month trip. Almost there...

ABOUT ME

1. My all time favorite super hero is of course Superman. (not like that pussy Batman)

2. When I was 4 I dressed up as superman for kindergarten (for Purim - like a Jewish Halloween), and one of the older girls yelled that I'm wearing red stockings, like a girl. Her name was Maya. I still hate her.

3. I don't share food.

4. I recently quit my job, after 3.5 years at the same place, to travel the world. Hopefully for more than 6 months.

5. My plan is to start with Thailand, and probably to continue to India, although at this point everything's open. Australia is an option also.

6. Quitting my job was somehow one of the hardest things I ever did - took a LOT of courage from me.

7. I've been religious till up to a year ago. The transition was very smooth, like it was the most natural thing in the world. I used to think that I was just going through a phase. I don't anymore.

8. I watch almost all of the movies that comes out. I'm addicted to TV although I really try to watch as little as possible.

9. I used to HATE Tel Aviv. HATE. It's one of the most unfriendly places to religious ppl in Israel. Ever since I went secular I'm starting to know the city again, and I'm loving it more and more every week that passes. When I come back to Israel I'm probably going to search for an apartment there.

10. I can't fall asleep without a Pillow. It's reached the point that even when I go to Miluyim that's one of the only things I take with me.

11. I learnt for three years in the university, for 4 different degrees, in this order: Biophysics, Medicine, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science. I finished none, yet my mother still loves me. Or so she claims.

12. I got sun burned today (Feb. 4th), after being 5 hours in the sun on the beach. I love Israel :)

13. I really enjoy speaking other languages (read: English) and a girl with a perfect accent in English is a real turn-on for me =)

14. However, speaking Hebrew with an American accent is a real turn-off. :-/

15. I'm a true night person. I hate going to sleep unless I'm dead tired.

16. I think I have dopamine deficiency or something, which might be what's causing the aforementioned sleeping problem. It's like I'm set for a 26 hour day. If I go to sleep at 12am and get up at 7am I wouldn't be tired until 2am the next day.

17. My favorite color is Blue.

18. I love dogs, and I'm really looking forward to being able to have one as pet again. We had 6 dogs at home when I grew up. Not at the same time though.

19. I'm not in touch with my father anymore, although I think that one day I'll get in touch with him again.

20. My all time best friend was actually a girl. We were best friends for 4 years, and disconnected the relationship exactly one year ago. The loss of her friendship really left a void in my life.

21. In retrospective, I'm happy that happened because it made me really think about many things in my life, which led to several very big changes, one of which is not being religious anymore.

22. #22 is the first time I actually got stuck. Thought it would come much sooner really :)

23. I really like writing, although it's usually very hard for me and takes me alot of time. I like reading thing I write.

24. I like making people laugh. I use humor as a defense mechanism quite often. At least I'm aware of it, ah?

25. I've seen (or actually listened to) Shrek more than 100 times. I know it by heart word for word - You can test me for it.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to do things that scares you. If something really scares you there's a good chance you'll find out something about yourself while doing it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Anyway I can. Hosting, Surfing, and recently participating in the Israeli CS community events.

Interests

First and fore most - people. People almost always fascinate me - I always seem to be finding some topic or another to discuss. All through my travelings it was always about the people that I met rather than the sights I was seeing.
