CURRENT MISSION

Survive 6 months in the States

ABOUT ME

I'm 29, moved to Israel in August, 2011 from Myrtle Beach, SC, USA, and spent some good time here. Spent a year in the Army, studied at Hebrew University, managed the only gay bar in Jerusalem, and now work at a hotel with a great variety of guests... I like all kinds of people, talking about all kinds of things, and doing all kinds of stuff!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when I can, travel when I can. Love this thing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Nashville and Dallas, in the US (different profile who's login info I forgot, oops), and Guadalajara and Morelia in Mexico. I've hosted a few people here in Jerusalem already, but can't host in my current apt.

Intereses

I'm a huge language nerd, I speak fluent English, Hebrew and Spanish, and fair-to-middling French, Japanese, Levantine Arabic, Israeli Sign Language, and Russian. I studied linguistics here at university, and I can talk for hours about this crap :P

I'm gay, live with my boyfriend Doron, and worked as the manager of the gay bar here in Jerusalem for more than 2 years. I love seeing local gay scenes, visiting the bars, and seeing drag shows!
