I am 31, living in Israel and originally from Chicago. I am a professional dog trainer and an intern for canine assisted therapy. I work with people of all walks of life and of all ages. I am always looking for nice people to meet and talk to, and my spontaneity and openess makes me available for most adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to meet great people and see the world we live in.

Interests

I've been singing since the age of 6 and played guitar since 16. I come from a very artistic family so anything art related hits close to home. Outdoors is where you can usually find me, i love the sun, i love snow more, biking or hiking, and even long and snowboarding. I have 4 dogs and foster new ones that i find till they find homes. Nature and adventure speaks to me and if i don't know it, haven't seen it, or have never tried it, i usually want to. I'd love to be shown around if possible but enjoy getting lost on my own, and am interested in seeing the "less touristy" spots if you know any.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almost all music from classical to hip hop and rap. I like listening to music in other languages, closing my eyes and trying to imagine what is being sung. Books are one of my down falls - i wish i was like my mom reading 4 books at once, unfortunately my mind wonders and focusing on one is tough enough... Though i will always advocate books and have a nice collection in my house, it's not my go-to past time. Movies and TV have taken up a lot of my younger life, though i always enjoy the break away and definitely love my "stories," I try to fill up my time by being a bit more pro active.
