CURRENT MISSION
To discover what makes a home a home

ABOUT ME
I worked in education for the past five years and have taught Mathematics to high school and middle school students. I've come to a point in my life where I was not satisfied with the kind of person I am becoming and did not feel that I am working towards my life mission. So I quit and am taking the time to clear the mind and rediscover myself by getting lost in the world and learning from others.. I love learning new things, amazing sights, experience different cultures and share good conversations.

PHILOSOPHY
To give back more than what I receive in life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share what life is like in California as a teacher, working at a Jewish summer camp in New Hampshire, working with children from LA in the bitter cold snow, and how to be terrible at romance. Could also provide musical entertainment if there is a piano or guitar around.

Would love to learn about the local area, different cultures and philosophies. Would love to check out new food recipes, and book/movie/music recommendations as well.
