About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student for mathematical biology. I am talkative, I have a really good memory, so I tend to scare people by reminding them tiny things about themselves that they have already forgotten. I really enjoy meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I lived in Jerusalem, few years ago, I hosted a lot of surfers through my roomates' profiles. Now that I have my own place I plan to start hosting myself (even have some surfers on the way.. :-) ). I haven't had the chance yet to surf abroad but I hope to do so in my coming trip to Japan!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My former roomate in Jerusalem is very active on couch surfing, so we had many couchsurfers in our place. It was really fun meeting interesting people from all over the world and showing them cool places around town.

I only had one opportunity to meet surfers aboard. I went to a ski vacation with friends and we met a couchsurfer that worked as a ski guide there. It was really fun hanging around with him, and I enjoy having "inside info" on the place and not just following other tourists around :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went up a small mountain in Georgia (the country). In retrospect, it turns out the climb requires some actual climbing experience and gear, but we just went up. It was the scariest experience of my life , as I found myself hanging with one hand from a cliff, but it was the most rewarding as well, as the view there was an amazing 360-degrees panorama

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach physics and mathematics, although I don't think it's attractive to many people.

I would be happy to practice french.

Also, I am open to learn anything new (but not things that require delicate motor skills I lack)
