About Me

This is my first time using coach surfing, so I'm unsure of the etiquette.

I'm a student studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science, and will be working at Microsoft in Seattle after I graduate. In my free time I really love playing ultimate frisbee mostly as a way to meet people. My favorite things in life: my mom, This American Life, used book stores, the random moments you have with friends and strangers.

Yael and I both met interning at Microsoft last summer, and we developed a few ink gestures in Microsoft Word. We're two peas in pod, we love to goof around, and eat ice cream. She won't say it but she goes to Harvard, is one of the leads in her acapella group, and is unsure if she should step into the adult world as a software engineer or pursue her passion for music.

She's born in Israel, speaks better french than me, and definitely better Hebrew.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just got back from backpacking Europe, and I'm currently in Seattle before going back to school for my last year of university. I'm here to meet locals in the places I travel, and to get the real personal experience, rather than a tourists.
