CURRENT MISSION

We want to see for ourselves the lands we are propagandized about

ABOUT ME

We are an interracial Jewish couple passionate about fitness, travel and each other. (Fear not, we rarely make out in public) We live in an upscale suburb of Chicago and have large, weekly dinner parties to which we'd love to invite you.

We are currently planning a trip to Iran and Cairo in Jan 2010 so if you know anybody...

PHILOSOPHY

The first duty of life is to enjoy it and the second duty has yet to be discovered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are brand new to CS. We'll send money and excitedly welcome surfers into our home. We also tell our friends about the project and can't wait to chat them up about our first CS adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I said we're newbies but anxious to meet our CS family

During a bicycle ride from Fairbanks, Alaska to Anchorage I cycled up a three thousand foot mountain in an ice storm. Sharon and I spent the first day of the June '07 Palestinian civil conflict shopping and drinking coffee in Ramallah.
