CURRENT MISSION

Uttering sentences that were never said before.

ABOUT ME

I change the "about me" section every few years. Does that mean there is no I? Am I the Buddha?! Probably not. I enjoy life's fluidity, inconsistency, interchangeability, eternal flow. I don't like the idea of being stuck in the same mindset or the same place for too long. Every moment of connection is precious, not unlike Gollum's ring.
I grew up in the north of Israel, then moved to Jerusalem for 8 years, and now (mid-2019) started a new chapter in Tel Aviv. Wish me luck and come join me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Your mind is not You. You realize it perfectly when you hit your small toe in a heavy piece of furniture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting on and off on this profile and other profiles (flat mates, ex-girlfriend) since 2011.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People are strange, and I like it. I met the most interesting people while hosting in the last few years, and in 2018 I had the opportunity to surf for a few months on other people's couches during a trip in Europe. Nowhere did I enjoy more than in places I couchsurfed. The people of a place are much more interesting than the place itself.

Interests

I like to travel all over, I like to read, write, talk to strangers (if they are willing to), talk to friends, sleep, day-dream, share new ideas, watch movies, swim, ride a bike, learning new words and constructs in forsaken languages and of course cook and eat

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movies: Big Lebowski, Borat, clockwork orange, No land for old man, City of God, Requiem for a Dream, pulp fiction, Forest Gump, fried green tomatoes, apocalypse now, Edward Scissorhands, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Citizen Kane... any insightful or hilariuos movie.

Favorite music: mainly all rock genres, except super heavy metal. I love Pink Floyd, Tool, Metallica, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, System of a Down, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Simon & Garfunkel, Infected Mushroom, Muse, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Porcupine Tree... I also like guitar artists, like Estas Tonne, Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola... And of course, Israeli music, which I'll be happy to share with you.

Favorite books: books by Franz Kafka, Jose Saramago, George Orwell, Shai Agnon (Israeli Nobel price winner), Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, Thomas Mann. I really loved Catch-22, La Storia by Elsa Morante, and the list is long.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most amazing expirience is travelling in South-America for 8 months.
The most amazing thing I did there is volunteering in a park in the Bolivian Jungle with wild cats, jaguars, pumas etc, and also monkeys, birds and others. Every day for an entire month I walked about 8 hours a day with a 120 kg jaguar named Rupi, in the amazing jungle. An experience worth talking about more than write about

Teach, Learn, Share

The most basic thing I can teach is Hebrew and stuff about Judaism... I like to cook and learn new recipes. Recently I am also very interested in meditation, breathing excercises and laughter yoga, so we can have a common glance at those things.
