CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world and grow as a human being!

ABOUT ME

I'm easy to get along with, reflective, I love intellectual/deep conversations (best late at night) and having spontaneous adventures. I smile and laugh a lot, I like both talking about things and doing things.

PHILOSOPHY

hmm how to summarize this... I think actively about what makes for the best life, and I can't say I've come to any definite conclusions yet. But I do believe that a truly examined life is richer and fuller than a life of just following the accepted path.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed now in Ecuador, Peru, and Japan, and the United States and I've had some incredible experiences. I've been blown away by hospitality and openness. I began couchsurfing when I was nineteen, and exploring the world for the first time. I then settled down a little bit to go back to school in Providence, RI, and am sad to say that I didn't engage much with the couchsurfing community while I was in school. Now that I've graduated, I'm looking to re-engage, and bring my (somewhat) older self to the community. It's in my heart to begin to pay it forward again by doing some hosting, but, alas, I've resumed the nomadic life again and will most likely be doing more surfing than hosting!

Couchsurfing is a project that gives me a lot of faith in humanity. I think that every couchsurfing encounter should be an exchange, a give and take-- a learning experience for everyone.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Lived in a Zen Monestary for 5 days in Japan. One of the most spiritual experiences of my life. The level of peace I felt with the universe at the end of my time there is something that I continue to treasure.

教，学，和分享

I can teach really really basic piano (I've only been learning for 2 years), I can tell you anything you want to know about religious Judaism, and running training for long distances. I know a thing or two about lucid dreaming as well.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Guitar or piano lessons, lucid dreaming tips, personal training, a listening ear, stories from Japan and South America, a good conversation!
