CURRENT MISSION

being fully human and helping others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I'm about to embark on my first living abroad experience. I have a research fellowship in Haifa, Israel for the next couple of years and I'll be going back and forth between Haifa and Los Angeles quite a bit. I've never been to the Middle East before and I'm really looking forward to it.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a fierce believer in individuality. I value community, but not at the expense of the individual. That said, I believe strongly that serving others is the most satisfying endeavor we can be engaged in. I strive to serve others in ways that are unique to my time, talents, and abilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I get set up in Israel, I'll be eager to host people traveling through the region. I think it will be an amazing place to live and I'm excited to share it with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just signing up for CouchSurfing proper, but I have always enjoyed having guests stay for extended periods of time. I like having an open home and getting to meet people from all over the place.
