Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION: making my way through India and Nepal, always seeking adventure.
Seek. Destroy... maybe not destroy... but definitely seek...
ABOUT ME
I like to live my life a little bit 'out of the box'. Buzzwords for me are 'different', 'unconventional' and 'ecclectic' to name a few. I'm pretty adventurous and will easily try anything new. In all honesty, I'm pretty versatile, so you could probably envision me doing almost anything, and I might actually have or will be doing it at some point. Most people will REALLY leave that last statement open to interpretation. I'm ok with that.
I'm really good at: Making up nonsensical stories about random people who might happen to be in my line of vision. I'm not sure they're actually nonsensical though, because I've approached a few of them afterwords and my evaluations have been pretty spot on.
Knowing that the difference between being truly bohemian and completely pretentious is based on how often you bathe. Somewhere there is a correlation, and I've also probably offended someone who just read this.
PHILOSOPHY
Live each day as if it were your last. Take negativity with a grain of salt and appreciate the beauty in little things.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm incredibly new to this whole couchsurfing thing, but better late then never, right? I'm hoping to surf, and host once I have the facilities to do so myself. If I'm surfing with you, I can cook you a mean stir fry, and also try to drink you under the table while doing it (what's better than drunken dinner?) I'm also willing to help out wherever needed, be it gardening or organizing your pantry, I'm eager to pull my weight :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lately every day has been amazing! I'm privileged enough to be living and volunteering at a wildlife reserve in the middle of the desert, and it's probably the most magical place on earth!!
Bonaire- I once looked right into the gaping mouth of a manta ray, and almost got smacked with her fin. I watched a man spear a lionfish and helped prepare the best ceviche I've ever tasted (for the record, lion fish are completely invasive to that Island, and it's the only legal animal to hunt there). I watched sea turtles copulate and got inked by an octopus!
Israel- Watched the sunset over Masada, didn't drown in the dead sea, shared a special moment with a camel, who then tried to eat my glasses, visited an Australian conservation (In Israel?!), meditated in Tzfat and got lost in the Old City.
Currently I'm living and working at a Ranch in Southern Eilat training donkeys and Camels... It's amazing to be isolated in the middle of the mountains, yet still only a 15 minute walk to the beach!
