Hey there, I'm Omri! (Siga para mi descripción en español)

I grew up in Boston, MA and studied Business, Economics, and Film and Media Studies at the University of Rochester for my undergraduate education. In college, I lived in Barcelona for 5 months, and traveled throughout Spain, UK, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Hungary, Austria, and Czech Republic.

In 2019 I quit my job in marketing to go backpacking in South America for 5 months (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). I love exploring cities, learning about other people's perspectives, sharing meaningful stories, and finding common ground with others for bonding.

I would use the following three words to describe myself:
-Personable: I love connecting with others and learning about their perspectives, experiences, and stories.
-Adaptable: I understand myself, my values and beliefs about the world, and for that reason I can thrive in a number of different situations.
-Adventurous: I love exploring cities and sharing experiences with others.

I look forward to speaking with you!

Hola, soy Omri!

Crecí en Boston, MA, y estudié Negocios, Economía y Estudios de Cine y Medios en la Universidad de Rochester para mi educación universitaria. En la universidad, viví en Barcelona durante 5 meses y viajé por España, Reino Unido, Italia, Suiza, Alemania, Francia, Hungría, Austria y República Checa.

En 2019, dejé mi trabajo en marketing para ir de mochilero en América del Sur durante 5 meses (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). Me encanta explorar ciudades, aprender sobre las perspectivas de otras personas, compartir historias significativas y encontrar puntos en común con otros para establecer vínculos.

Usaría las siguientes tres palabras para describirme:
-Personable: me encanta conectarme con los demás y aprender sobre sus perspectivas, experiencias e historias.
-Adaptable: me entiendo a mí mismo, mis valores y creencias sobre el mundo, y por eso puedo prosperar en varias situaciones diferentes.
-Aventuroso: me encanta explorar ciudades y compartir experiencias con otros.

¡Espero poder hablar con usted!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am interested in learning from others and seeing multiple perspectives on the world, while exploring cities!
