About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people from around the world without leaving the comfort of my living room

ABOUT ME

I hang out and like kubeh soup.

I just returned from a two-month trip in the US and Ecuador, which renewed my faith and commitment to couchsurfing!! My roommate has still not seen the light, so I need to be selective; complete profiles and thoughtful requests are obviously a good idea.

PHILOSOPHY

Turns out, I'm culinary fanatic. Who knew?

Since I first wrote that, I've mellowed out a bit. But I still get really excited when there is new seasonal fruit in the market.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people in Jerusalem, show them around the city, cook yummy meals, have interesting conversations and hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great conversations are awesome. I've even managed to have a few without actually speaking the same language....

Interests

Cooking, painting, hiking, knitting, swimming in nature, biking, hitchhiking, writing blogs with friends. Naps, science, nature, museums, design.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sure, sure, plenty. I often go see movies (ahem, films) at the Jerusalem cinematheque. I read a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dropped out of high-school, moved half way around the world (and back, and back again, and again) on my own and somehow it all worked out!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach knitting, environmental songs, Photoshop and InDesign, Hebrew, how to read a map and how to make a killer cheesecake. I'd love to learn more Turkish.
