Husband, father, graduate student, enjoyer of life.

I'm a graduate student working on second language acquisition, especially as it pertains to Hebrew. I'm interested in education and would like to contribute to the way the world learns and teaches foreign languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning about pretty much anything and everything. I'm a big believer in the promises of globalism and the importance of inter-cultural exchanges, and for that reason I want to share with and learn from different people with different perspectives. I'm here to learn from you and to share a little bit of myself as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a summer as Indiana Jones excavating in the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. I got to find and analyze dozens of Nabataean and Roman coins, extract a human skeleton from the ground, and climb up and down hundreds of ancient, worn-out steps every single day, even while some of our crew decided to ride some poor donkeys instead.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Deep conversations, chill vibe, language and culture, fun. I don't drink alcohol, but I'm certainly up for having a good time.
