CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel the country and learn as much as i can and spread love and creativity where i can

ABOUT ME

I lived in Russia and Israel as a kid, and went to highschool in Albany, NY.
my passion is art and mother nature, my goal in life is to love and let my light shine.
My totem animal is a mountain goat, and my biggest love is my puppy.
I sometimes find linear logic troubling.
I think TV rots people's brains and turns us into zombies
Im generally pretty easy going and run on forest-time (aka, I'm always late...)
My dream is to live in an off-the-grid commune someday

PHILOSOPHY

Love is the most important and beautiful thing about life- it is my religion
I feel that the divine spirit is in everybody and everything and my goal is to feel it always through and through
I feel that the earth is my mother and I am not whole if I am not in harmony with her

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am entirely new to couch-surfing and so have not yet had the chance to contribute. But, as soon as i have a permanent place of residence again i fully intend to open it up to fellow travelers

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Don't have any experience other then meeting many many people who've done it and spoke a lot of good words about it

Interests

art- I paint, draw, sow, make jewelry, basically anything i can get my hands on
nature- hiking and backpacking, permaculture farming, political activism to protect it
music and dance and being free
linguistics- i speak 3 fluently and studied others, and would love to learn more languages and the way they are structured
literature- a good book can change the way i view the world
history and the cyclical patterns within it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walking through the Judean Desert (jeruslaem to dead sea) under a full moon was a pretty other-worldly experience
white summer nights in the woods at the white sea
not too much yet, but many many more to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in Hebrew and Russian and can teach some of that, also how to navigate in a country where you don't know the language
I'm a pretty good cook
I can teach people about art- though its mostly about going for it and not being afraid to ruin a piece of blank paper
