Overview
About Me
Born in Israel and raised in New York. Love to travel and get to know people from different backgrounds. I like to explore new places and talk to locals to understand more about the culture.
I've had the most incredible 9 months of solo backpacking through South America 2016-2017. I spent a lot of time volunteering and staying with locals through couchsurfing. I enriched my journey by meeting new people from every corner of the world, cooking with them, dancing, chatting until 3am, laughing together. My first big solo adventure was life-changing and inspiring.
More recently I spent a year in Australia 2019-2020 on a working holiday. The first few months I spent traveling around and I worked a couple of months at a lavender farm in Tasmania. Due to Covid, I ended up on lockdown in Tassie and experiencing life in a whole other way like everyone else. I had some amazing long-term hosts and then returned to NY.
Now that I'm moving back to the city, I'd love to stay connected with everyone through this amazing app.
