I am a native New Yorker, who moved to Israel in March of 2014. I love to travel but I don't get to do it much. I am passionate about what this city has to offer and love sharing it with guests. The food, the beaches, the people, the music, the art and culture - it's really an amazing place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My roommate is off exploring the far east and instead of finding a permanent person for the room, I thought it might be fun to meet people from around the world. I am a veteran airbnb guest and host (from my days in NYC), but wanted to give couchsurfing a go.

Interests

I love hip-hop, rock, blues, jazz and will one of my favorite ways to spend a weekend is just wandering around unexplored streets, meeting friends and eating delicious food. I do have to wake up early for work on weekdays (in Israel, weekends are Friday and Saturday), but can always be talked into checking out a live show or seeing a movie with friends. I am a veracious podcast listener and can talk for hours about film and music. Anything else you want to know, just ask :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll pretty much watch anything. I mean anything. There have been multiple times where I walked up to the counter of an indie movie house and just said "Give me a ticket to the next thing playing". Won't go into a list, but know that if I haven't seen it already, I want to - so bring on the suggestions!

Music is quite varied, but classic hip hop and classic rock are my bedrock.

Books - Mostly non-fiction, informational and biographies. Thought the Steve Jobs book was fascinating, anything by Malcolm Gladwell or Jon Ronson. Geeky research based non-fiction always interests me. I am a writer at my job, so I love seeing how language is used and abused and changed in more creative ways, but also like when research can be presented in interesting and different ways.
