CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world authentically (not as a tourist) and exchange my story and culture with other people.

ABOUT ME

I am an Israeli American, who has lived in Israel and Brazil, but spent most of my time growing up in Boulder Colorado. I have an older sister (who is an avid couch surfer),and a twin brother. From a young age my parents have always pushed my siblings and me to travel as much a s possible and explore different cultures. I have always spent my time between my home in Boulder during the school year and summer vacations in my parent's kibbutzim in Israel, so it's not hard for me to adjust to new cultures. I'm a super friendly and outgoing person who is always in seek of an adventure, or a nice discussion (whether it be about politics or life). I also love eating, so whatever food is on the table I am more than willing to try it! I hope to teach you all about my culture, as much as you teach me about yours!

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy.
