CURRENT MISSION

The pursuit of happiness and truth.

ABOUT ME

All my life I have dreamed about traveling the world and seeing new places and meeting people who are different than me... I am finally able to do that now.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to make everyday happy and meaningful. I believe in truth and justice. I believe in our ability as humans to become something better than what we are right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host anyone traveling in the lower Hudson valley area or someone who doesn’t mind the 50 minute train ride to NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a couple of cyclists stay over my place on their way from Montreal to NYC, an amazing girl who is walking across America and many other amazing friends. My first surfing experience was in Israel and Palestine, it was amazing, I couldn't believe how much help I got from everyone there.

Interests

I love science and learning, photography, cycling, running, swimming, hiking, camping, yoga, carving wood and pretty much any kind of music.
