About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to see the world, learn about other cultures, and study languages

ABOUT ME

I was born in the USA and lived in Spain for two years as a kid. I attended a school for environmental studies in the southern Israeli desert. Most of my life I lived in a small town in the north of Israel with my parents and older brother and sister. We have a farm where we grow medicinal herbs, and I like to help out on various projects there. I spent a challenging and wonderful year volunteering with youth, taking them on trips in the wilderness. I've held odd jobs on ranches in northern California, and am now traveling to see the world before I begin university studies in the field of social work.
I like challenges, practicing meditation, extreme sports, being in the wilderness, traveling, rolling my sleeves up and getting involved in an exciting project.

PHILOSOPHY

Look on the bright side of life, treat people the way you'd like to be treated, work hard and play hard!

Music, Movies, and Books

In movies, I like seeing new worlds or this world in a different era, movies that stimulate my imagination, for example: Matrix, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings and Gandhi. In music, I like almost everything but especially Latin, Irish, African and anything you can dance to. In books, I enjoy reading about characters who are connected to my life in some way, such as a book about a place I'm traveling in or about an experience I've had or am interested in having.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a car in Vancouver, Canada this summer and made a road trip all the way to Alaska, through the amazing landscape of the Rockies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been juggling since I was a kid and am happy to teach anyone who's interested. I'm excited about learning new languages, dancing and cooking.
