About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Student at the amazing Minerva project! Where Ill be studying each semester at a different country :)

Before I started studying at Minerva, I decided to devote a year to travel in Asia, and spent much time learning Buddhist philosophy and yoga :)

Since 2015, I have been spending every few months in a different country ( USA, Germany, and Argentina, South Korea and India). My next destination is London- I am super excited for it!

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and making new friends. I cook darn good vegan food, and currently a Jacob Collier addict. I study economics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy at an international nomad school, and I am interested in irrationallity, politics, innovation and performance arts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to understand a new place, for me, is through meeting locals who introduce me to their experience. I enjoy a good conversation way more than checking in a "must see" in a city, and I actually like understanding new places through my tummy -- (I mean- through tasting new flavors!).

Interests

Music, Dance, Arts, Culture,
Buddhism and Kabalah, life philosophies, meditation, yoga, education, Organic farming, nature, hiking, health, vegan/ vegetarian food, global politics, poverty alleviation.
