About Me

*I need an actor around October 2020-March 2021 for a 2 or 3 days shooting. The character in the (feature) movie is British so if you can just make this accent and you are not from the UK it will also be good.
If you come around that time to Israel I can host and feed you as long as you need if you will be ready to act for 2-3 days in my movie!

*If you are a filmmaker or any other type of "creator" and up for collaborations contact me - I am always up to collaborations!*

Overall quite positive guy, currently living in Tel Aviv originally from many cities in Israel:)
Writing a book and have plans to make a film based on it.

These days(2023) I'm in the middle of "selling" my script to the Israeli TV

Get very inspired by films that have their unique atmosphere and music, or sociological/philosophical meaning.
Programmer in a neurosciense lab and learning cinema , sociology, economy (only specific topics) and philosophy at Tel Aviv University (for my book and films).
When I'm not learning/working I'm doing sports and music,
and of course hangouts on weekends with the lads
Love to talk about random meaningless things, or about serious deep shit like politics philosophy society films books sports et cetera

- Information for the host -

I am very clean, nice, super independent and respectful, not noisy, don't need anything special, and vegan (in case you love to cook, maybe it's important to note, I am not sure)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning a big trip through Western and Eastern Europe, in specific locations, for physical inspiration for my book/script

I want to meet new people from different cultures or just different perspectives and knowledge, but the main idea is just experiencing and weave good memories and relationships

Plus it will be a good idea to experience the area I am visiting through a local's point of view

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Established a cooperative:)

Got stuck in the middle of a highway in Yom Kippur (a day with no cars at all , all over the country) , with broken bikes at 4 a.m, and just went home with my bikes for 6 hours .

Booked a flight 3 hours before the flight

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn German and French, Try to learn as much as I can about popular culture in the UK, France and Germany (mostly),
If you know Russian very well and can help me with analyzing some Russian poetry I am struggling with, it will be so awesome

Can- Take you to my fav. bars and friends in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem, share local drinks and food, tell about history of Israel or Russia (especially if I host you :) ) share ideas and thoughts, maybe good tips for random things if you got stuck somewhere in Israel, can teach Hebrew and Russian.

What I Can Share with Hosts
