CURRENT MISSION

Be with good people and learn as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I've lived in three countries, and I have been to many more. I love travel, crazy topography and the little nooks and crannys of cities and I love learning from the people I meet along the way.

In life I have finished the college thing, worked as a teacher, as a counselor at summer camps and I was also a professional skydiver for a while. That last job ended with a pretty serious injury I have been spending the last year or so recovering from, but I'm finally getting my life back on track and it's high time to do some traveling!

PHILOSOPHY

This is and has always been a work in progress, but I feel like I'm honing on on something along the lines of love everyone and use your brain as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am in between homes at the moment, so I can not offer a place to stay, but I'd love to meet anyone whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I regularly sleep on couches in a myriad of different places; not through couchsurfing.com though.

Interests

It's hard to pin down what I'm interested in, maybe that's why I'm majoring in Biochemistry, Hebrew and Journalism. I love being outdoors and exploring, but I also enjoy reading, cooking or working on various projects at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had heard that the largest hot air balloon gathering in the world was taking place a mere four hours from where I was located (Antwer Belgium at the time) at Chambley air base in France. Based on this information I decided to hitchike down there to see if I could make a Balloon jump.

Getting the jump involved a lot of luck, generosity from strangers, a fake VIP pass and camping out next to the hangar for two days, but the jump was amazing.

We were at 4500 feet when I jumped, probably the highest balloon (out of about 330), and if the subterminal freefall wasn't cool enough, the canopy ride over the French countryside with a sunrise and hundreds of hot air balloons sharing my airspace certainly made it worth the effort.
