CURRENT MISSION

אַבי נישט ענגליש

ABOUT ME

I'm an insatiable learner. My current passion is learning languages, which conflicts in a useful way with my introvertedness, far more so than my previous passion, math.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to learn and to carry on the traditions and culture of my ancestors. I believe in the importance of diversity in ideas, cultures and languages.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've now hosted several dozen people, had wonderful experiences, spoke a bunch of languages, and have surfed myself a couple times as well in Mexico, Germany, France, and Uruguay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far CS experiences have been incredibly fulfilling. I have formed friendships with people, learned about other cultures, and (when surfing) experienced outstanding hospitality.

教，学，和分享

Because of my passion for languages, I'm specifically looking to host guests who speak one of my listed languages and would agree to communicate with me in it (although this may require some patience if I am not expert!). In return, I'm more than happy to share what linguistic knowledge I've gathered along the way. I can also teach you math, but am not waiting with bated breath for you to ask.
