About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Run my pub, make music, have some fun.

ABOUT ME

30 years old from Israel, Currently living in Metz, in the east of France.

I own a pub here, which takes most of my time, but its a lot of fun too because I get to meet lots of people from all over, have bands coming over to do shows.

Ive been living here for 10 years now and know the place quite well, so if you're around, dont be shy!

PHILOSOPHY

No gods, no masters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I intend to host as many people possible in my humble home, show them around and have a good time! I can also supply information about the area, and can also help people travelling Israel, as I have my family and friends there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I mostly take the 'host' part as I love having company and due to my job I dont travel much, but now that I'm on this site, maybe I'll think about trying the other site of couchsurfing too...

Interests

Music: I play guitar for 12 years now and sing too...played in many bands..I love most music types but mostly listen to Rock'n'roll, Punk, Ska, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Jazz, Blues, Swing, Classic Rock, Reggae, 80's...

I love movies and go to the cinema often, my favourite directors are: Coen Bros, Robert Rodriguez, Tarantino, Lynch, Kustorica, Almodovar...But I also love trashy movies like Russ Meyer movies and old crappy horror movies(Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price..).

I read a lot(Koreishi, Garcia Merquez, Robert Jordan, Douglas Adams, Terry Prachet and others)

Besides that I cook(my pub also has food), I play computer and console games, I play pool sometimes, I study stuff....I try to do a bit of anything really...
