CURRENT MISSION

To loosen up a little and learn to have more fun!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Houston, went to college in NY and outside of Boston, and then moved to Jerusalem, Israel. Currently living in a great community full of spiritual hippies who eat a lot of spelt and millet and amaranth and other esoteric complex carbohydrates... I don't fit that stereotype, but enjoy observing their habits :)

I've been on a bit of a spiritual/career search over the years- finished pre-med during undergrad while studying European Culture, Italian, and Theatre. After moving to Israel, decided to take a leap of faith to pursue Architecture and Interior Design. Did makeup for fun. So... I obviously enjoy a lot of different topics and am zany enough to have tried 'em all!

I value religion and spirituality very highly. I love friendly people and introspective conversations about emotions and life. Love talking about philosophy and Gd. Love to hang out in a chilled environment. You'll find me going to museums/plays/outdoor festivals more than in a bar or club.

I keep some traditional Jewish customs and love learning about other's customs as well. I eat vegetarian when travelling.

I've traveled alone and found it to be quite isolating. For me, the joy comes from finding a beautiful place and SHARING it with another human being. Looking for other people to share experiences with.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we've all been put here in this world to accomplish a specific personal task, and to help each other fulfill our life's purpose. I think being kind is more important than being smart. I think that the path that's right for me isn't necessarily the path that's right for you, and that we should be able to share without judging each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here because I realized that travelling alone can be very isolating... It is very special not to just go to a foreign destination, but to meet the people that BREATHE LIFE into that location!
