I am Jacob. I have spent my life in many places, and I am now studying in New York City, graduating in May. I work for a music collective based in Brooklyn, and I am moving to Boston in a few months for graduate school. I spent 4 years in Israel, and have been lucky enough to have traveled to 25 countries! I enjoy traveling and look forward to any opportunity that may spring up.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing a few times during my travels in India, and they were all good experiences. I like the whole concept of couchsurfing, and I'd like to continue to be a part of it.

Interests

I play many instruments, do black and white darkroom photography. I love languages and traveling. Indian culture is something that fascinates me. I love to cook vegetarian food from all over the world, but I especially love Indian, Italian, and Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. I enjoy hiking and camping, and spending time out in the nature (which I don't get too often living in NYC).
