CURRENT MISSION

To share an experience with you that will make your life happier. 😄 I’m learning that shared experiences are one of my most prized possessions.

I love making new friends from all over the world. I feel invigorated by connecting with new people and sharing beautiful moments together.

There is something magical about discovering new places while connecting with good people. I believe that love is the connection of a shared positive emotion and that you can experience this with almost anyone. That’s why couch surfing is so cool.

PHILOSOPHY

I think everyone can be happier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can't host anyone currently, but love meeting new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Perhaps my favorite was hanging out with Yokov making pie together in Philadelphia while we discussed neuroscience and happiness.

Loved our first one during a layover in New York. Loved it. Amazing Jewish family who was really nice to my wife and I on our honeymoon.

Kevin made the best pumpkin ice cream in the world and really helped us feel at home in HB.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love A Cappella music and almost anything that makes me want to dance. I’ll totally have a dance party with you if you bring the right music. I kind of think I look funny when I dance but there is no way you won’t smile if you watch me.

About Time, The Majestic, Tomorrowland are probably my favorite movies but I love SO many movies (huge Harry Potter fan). I'm reading The Upside of Stress, The Future of Happiness and Contagious right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up to the top of Mount Sinai in the middle of the night to see the sun rise, accompanied by Bedouins. Lived on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem for three months.

Married my best friend (will be 5 years in June 2018!!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am passionate about entrepreneurship and positive psychology (the science of happiness). I have a podcast and an Instagram account with 14K followers of you want to learn anything about how to grow your Instagram I’ll totally teach you. I am fluentish (my vocab is fading) in Spanish (lived in Chile for 2 years), studied psychology, lived in the Holy Land for 4 months, I know SEO, anything to do with websites and small business, I created an iphone app, am passionate about world history and am in the midst of a faith transition.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have had recent success growing my Instagram account to over 14K followers (@morehappylife) and it is fun to show people how I grow it.

I also just launched a podcast and I’m happy to share how this works and how I keep it going.

I can teach you about how to create an online course to make passive income. I have online courses.

I self published a book on amazon and I’m happy to share any part of that process with you too.

If you want to talk about what makes humans happier, I could talk for days!

Social media general advice.

I do sing but it kind of has to be the right range or I get sheepish. If you play an instrument, I would LOVE TO JAM!

Long exposure photography is a hobby and I can teach you what I know.

Meditation. I meditate and I’d love to meditate or do yoga with you if you are down.

I’m currently going through a bit of a faith transition (March 2018) so I’m open to talk about faith and spirituality if you want.

How to overcome anxiety and deal with panic attacks or mental illness in a way that is sustainable (I’m not a therapist but my friends and family think I should be).
