About Me

I love meeting new people and learning new things and having interesting conversations. About to tour America a little bit and am hoping to do a bit of couchsurfing to meet new people and to get a different of the city. For work, I'm doing biophysics, making movies and music, and I need a vacation and an opportunity to network in Portland, New York, and Los Angeles, my three favorite cities in the US. I always down for any positive experience and love to participate with whatever cool thing that comes my way. Maybe that cool thing will be you!

Also, I couched surf before when I was 21 and stayed at three or four couches and got good ratings with my friend Melissa who showed me the ropes, but I'm not sure what happened to that account so I started this one.

I smoke green and brown, but definitely respectfully and outside. I always treat a host's home with total respect

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to meet people and get to be invited into their homes all around the world and have quality people from all around the world visit me. Why WOULD'T I be on couch surfing?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting a rock show with my old band, starting with Arcade Fire's and killing it. I was 23 in my friends backyard while it was raining and I was playing guitar and singing, but I starting playing on drum in front of me, with the rain drops bouncy off the head. One of the most beautiful moments in my life

Teach, Learn, Share

Science, Philosohy, Move-making, Theology, lot a stuff. I consider myself a scholar and I am always studying

Trying to pick up Hebrew and Spanish, If you know either, and I'm down to learn anything and everything I don't know already–if you're not learning, you're not living, I say

And if you play music or like making movies, I would love to do one or either of those things if they interest you. I'm the type of artist who lives for collaboration, even though I often make art by myself

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing is caring and I care about people to an almost ridiculous degree. I often find myself as the cigarette fairy, I love sharing food and cooking for you and together and to share whatever else I have that I don't need myself. I'm not just looking for some space to crash, even though I have a lot of plans for when I'm visiting, I'm looking to have quality time with the people who host me and whoever I host
