About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I will approach life with a curious nature, so that I am someone who continually strives to better understand both my inner and outer worlds...

ABOUT ME

A New Yorker with a TelAvivian Spirit, friendly, polite, respectful, funny, worldly, generous,talkative, warm, eager to help, tolerant.

PHILOSOPHY

To find happiness, fulfillment, and value in living, I will seek out and experience all of the pleasures and joys that life has to offer. My core values are not limitations restraining me on this hedonistic quest for fun. Rather, they provide a framework for identifying, pursuing, and achieving those pleasures that last the longest and are the most satisfying. The greatest joy of all is being worthy of the respect and admiration of family and friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first Couchsurfing experience in 2009 .
I was hosted by some of the most amazing people I have meet in years... Prague - Vienna & Budapest wouldn't have been the same if I had not met them.

I did it again in Denver and in Nice and would do it again !

I have also hosted Couchsurfers in Israel for 1 week it was amazing.

I love Couchsurfing because it made me trust and believe in people again.
