About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make New York my Home.

ABOUT ME

Two years ago I sought a new adventure. Enrolled into a masters program, packed my life in Israel and started a new life. My year in Pittsburgh, with 60 other amazing students from all over the world had contributed so much to my profesional and personal growth. Seriously, in ways I did not even anticipate.

Traveled after school, tried out life in San Francisco and realized that I'm in the wrong place. I found a job in NYC, hopped on a plane, and loving it!

PHILOSOPHY

Keep it simple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a good amount of people during my time in Tel-Aviv. I've met excellent people and had a great time. Looking at your own city through the eyes of a tourist is always refreshing and fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted and met people from Europe, the U.S. and Australia at my apartment in Tel-Aviv. Spent a year in Pittsburgh, and now that I'm in New York I'm considering doing some hosting again. We'll see :)

Interests

I love music of all sorts and kinds (but less on the electronic and heavy metal side), I have been practicing Yoga for the past 5 years and I really enjoy it. Photography is also a hobby of mine - especially when travelling
I also really like going to the cinema. Call me old-fashioned, but there's something about that experience that cannot be reproduced at home. Last good movie I have seen was Shutter Island, White Ribbon..
