About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On the side:
To say cheers with a glass of beer with at least 1 person from every country

My main mission in life is to fix homelessness through my nonprofit that I'm working with:
https://www.facebook.com/backonyourfeetorg/

Among some other startups that I'm trying to start.

ABOUT ME:

Just a dude trying to bring good energy/love into the world, and fulfill his potential, everyday.

I work in email/online marketing. I graduated with a BS in Business Management/Economics, my focus was in entrepreneurship.

My interests are many, but I very much enjoy: Volleyball, Soccer/Football, Beer (all sorts of beer), exploring, hiking, biking, museums, history, philanthropy, running, bikram yoga, Judaism, and yadda, yadda yadda, the list goes on.

I would describe myself as: friendly, laidback, free-spirited.

Languages: English, Semi fluent in Russian, Quarterly fluent in Spanish, learning Hebrew (slowly)

Looking forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

Live to love in order to love to live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working on a non-profit to fix homelessness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Advise: Travel for people as much as you travel for sites. What makes a country is the people, not a tourist site that no local ever goes to. But I suspect that if you're on CouchSurf, you understand this :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not sure what to put here.
