ABOUT ME
Currently hosting surfers in Medellin, Colombia.
Been traveling a lot since 1986. Have lived and worked in the local language in Italy, Israel, Japan, Cuba, and now Colombia.
I'm proud to have created three residences (two in old converted warehouses in SOMA, San Francisco, and one in a new building in Medellin), which house over 40 people from 12 different countries. I still love traveling and want to get back to the countries I've visited before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
scuba diving in a lake (we hiked to it with all of our scuba gear) that used to be ocean and saw barracuda that adapted themselves over the years to the brackish water, learned italian, hebrew, japanese and spanish from scratch by living and working in those countries. now only fluent in Spanish. Built a hotel/hostal in medellin, colombia.
