Love to adventure, conquer my fears (except for spiders, i'm good with staying away from them), and also just chill. I'm an educator, and I love to both teach and learn new things every day. Just here to change the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Iron & Wine, Bob Iver, Daughter, Sia, The Tallest Man on Earth, this list could just go on forever. I'm always excited to find new music, regardless of genre!

Movies: Valhalla Rising, Drive, Fight Club, Children of Men, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars (what prequels?), The Matrix, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, again this list could go on forever.

Books: House of Leaves, Dune, The Road, anything by Terry Pratchett, Harry Potter, Starship Troopers, American Gods, whatever just give me something mysterious and fantastical and I'm happy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Led a few week-long community service trips to Costa Rica, built communities centers, painted schoolhouses, reforested, and my educated American high schoolers on sustainability and responsible global citizenship.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: a little guitar, Jewish history and practices, juggling, how to cook the best fried eggs, English, some Hebrew, improv games, drinking games, board games

Learn: how to slackline, better rock climbing skills, all kinds of languages, especially sign language, more guitar, how to surf, how to fly a plane, cultural idioms and expressions that i'm not used to hearing in America, basically anything!

Share: a positive attitude, a calming presence, and an open mind

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smiling, warm presence, fun stories, a sense of adventure. I'm committed to leaving everyone I meet happier for the experience.
