About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To put off my next degree for as long as possible while seeing the world.

ABOUT ME

After living in India for the past few months, I'm back in Israel working for an NGO and learning about my "roots." India was a powerful reminder of the things we take for granted, the beauty of different cultures and the endless amount of new experiences that are out there. I'm excited to keep meeting new people in Israel and for the unexpected adventures that are sure to come!

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" (Gandhi)
...and on a lighter note, "Do me like you should" (Nelly)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but great couchsurfing experiences mostly staying with others, but also meeting up with interesting people across India. Couchsurfing greatly enriched my time in India and I am looking forward to more positive experiences in Israel.
