I try to have an open mind, learn and experience new things and do what I can to make the world a better place while having fun doing it!

I try really hard not fool myself. It isn't always easy. Humans are really good at fooling themselves...

I grew up in a fairly small town in southern New Mexico called Las Cruces. I went to college in Chicago and have spent about three years total living in Israel (but not all in a row). I love learning new things by reading, listening to podcasts, talking with people and by trying things out. I'm really just curious about the world. I enjoy hiking and walking. Especially when I'm in a new city I like just walking around to see the place.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to travel and meet locals. It will be cool to host and meet travelers.
