I’m a 25 year old NYC native and Georgetown grad. I just returned from a year living and teaching English in Israel and a summer leading middle school students in South America. Next month (jan 2020) I begin teaching bilingual special education in a Brooklyn public elementary school.

I write poetry. I love animals. I love to read and write and sing. Long car trips are fun when you have a great playlist. I love exploring new places and people. I speak Spanish and a little Portuguese and Hebrew. My instagram is Zachary_af

Let’s talk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been to about 50 countries so far - but surprisingly am new to Couch Surfing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in Spanish and know a little Portuguese and Hebrew

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to sing, I make awesome playlists and pick the best snacks (if we want to road trip?!). I studied Spanish, psychology, and history and I read and write a lot - mostly nonfiction: history, science books, memoirs, poetry. I also write music - if you’re into music maybe we can have a jam session!
