CURRENT MISSION

Not traveling anywhere without a local friend or guide!!! I've started to really dislike regular tourism, as I believe we get a fake and commercial version of the local culture. So even if it requires more efforts or limits me in my destinations, I won't travel unless I can find a local to show me around and spend time with!

ABOUT ME

I'm super easy going, I'll follow a host or a friend wherever they lead me. I adapt to any lifestyle or circumstances, and I'm (I think!!) pretty easy to get along with.

I'm always most interested in the history and political context of the places I visit, and rather than read it in history books, I prefer hearing from people who've lived it! And I'm trying to adopt a low-waste, low-carbon, low-animal (including human) suffering lifestyle.

And I'm on a constant search for new music! At the moment I'm very much into Cumbia and Son Jarocho (from Veracruz, Mexico), but I love Gipsy music, Klezmer, Arab, and fusion music.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've gotten along very well with everyone whose couch I've slept on, whether in Boston, Tunis or New Orleans. Unfortunately, I live with roommates so I haven't been able to host much...

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm not a particularly skilled person, but I'd be happy to teach all I know, whether it's French, Hebrew, politics or other! I'd be happy to talk about my experience living in different countries too.

There are so many things I want to learn, I couldn't write it all, but here are some: learning Arabic, Spanish; how to grow my own food; car mechanics; astronomy and physics; evolutionary biology; clarinet; and learn how to build a house!
