ABOUT ME
I graduated from College about a year and a half ago. Went directly into working in NYC and a year later realized I had no clue what I really wanted to do and was not happy at my current job. I never gave myself the chance to travel as much as I would have wished to during college so I decided why not now.
I am silly and easy-going, I love to get into deep conversations with new friends. I'm more comfortable going to a hole-in-the-wall dimly lit bar than a club. I love fleas markets and museums. I love animals (like a lot). I'm very open so don't hesitate to ask me anything.
PHILOSOPHY
When I am making difficult decisions I balance the risk vs. the reward in my head...usually the reward is MUCH greater than the risk.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to have an idea of what I am going to be doing and staying while traveling, so I will probably contact people a few weeks ahead of time, especially if I am traveling alone. I would like to host, but I have a roommates who are not interested. I would be glad to show people around Jaffa or Tel Aviv and get coffe/tea
