About Me

Originally hailing from R.I. I currently live in NYC and work as a P.A. and do comedy (Improv, Stand Up).
I act sometimes, have a lot of energy and like to whistle while I work.
I just love meeting people and doing neat things like camping and seeing free movies in the park and road tripping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I've really gotten into Trap Remixes but Photograph by Ed Sheeran always gets me. I play guitar and can mess around of a piano and ukelele.
I watch movies and read books too, I promise!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 42 days traveling the U.S. living out of and in a Kia Soul.

Teach, Learn, Share

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds
will never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

–Mary Oliver, Evidence

What I Can Share with Hosts

My unique life story (I grew up ultra-orthodox Jewish, boy do I have a lot to say about that :)
My general positivity and amazing (unbiased opinion) sense of humor
I love baking and (to a lesser skill level) cooking
I can wield a broom like no other and can help with chores! - I am adept at killing mice and roaches from living in NYC
I'm handy! Give me a power drill and some Gorilla Glue and I can (try to) fix that thingamajig that keeps rattling when the whooziwhatsit does that thing.

Canada, Israel, Poland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Israel, United States
