Adventure seeking, super energetic, love to be in nature and travel, love to read, share stories, be spontaneous, and all the other cliches I could list.

I am currently traveling in Central and South America with one of my closest friends from University, and would love to experience traveling here through the Couchsurfing community.

I just graduated University in Colorado where I studied Psychology and Political Science, and I decided to take 4-6 months off and travel the world:) I am really active in my community in San Diego; I really enjoy meditation, surfing, and can absolutely party with the best of the best.

I love to learn new languages as well. I have been working on my Spanish for the past few years, and have recently started learning Hebrew and Portuguese. I'm a strong believer in the fact that you can not fully experience a culture if you do not understand some of the language, so I have made it my goal to learn a little bit of the local dialect in every place I travel:)

I am truly grateful for the couchsurfing community. Some of my best memories from traveling have been from staying with locals all around the world. The community has given me so much and I try and give back whenever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great way to meet new people, everybody I have meet has been absolutely incredible. Making new connections with different kinds of people is THE BEST., Also to host people in need and maybe have them return the favor one day :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything. Yes, including country. Also a huge Disney and Pixar nerd. I love to read, especially Lost Generation stuff.

I have recently started learning a lot about Decentralized Finance and have been reading book after book on this topic.

I love learning about the field of medicinal psychedelics; I started reading "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan which lead me spiraling down a rabbit hole of how these ancient medicines can be used in a modern sense to change society for the better.
Long story short, my intellectual interests are super varied, but I LOVE to read and learn about new topics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am the President of a nonprofit organization called ReSurf, we're based in San Diego, and have spread our wings to help underprivileged youth in places such as South Africa, west shore of Oahu, Tijuana, Mexico 🇲🇽 , and most recently, Israel 🇮🇱.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can reach you how to surf and I can show you how to cook a badass Israeli dish that my parents used to make called Shakshouka.

Traveling is one of my favorite topics and I’m always looking for new places to explore, so I’d love to share experiences and get more insight on future travel destinations

Just FYI, i live about 15 miles from downtown, and there’s basically no public transit, so you need to have a car. If you don’t have your own mode of transportation, I won’t be able to host you. P.s if you tell me that you DO have a car in the request, the chances of me hosting you will go up.

***Also, if you’re coming with more than one guest, please attach some sort of link to either their Instagram, Facebook, or couchsurfing profile***
