CURRENT MISSION travel, hike, climb, learn, kayak, and travel more ABOUT ME I'm a climate scientist in Seattle, Washington in the US. I am into rock climbing, mountaineering, backcountry skiing, traveling, making bread and brewing kombucha. I love meeting new people and sharing travel stories, and am always up for grabbing a beer. PHILOSOPHY I aim to never accept the status quo - in my own life, in my community, and in the world. At that point, one might as well give up. I like challenges - and tend to run after them.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic
Pioneer Badge
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE So far I've hosted and surfed, and enjoy both equally - look forward to more of the same.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like adventurey movies, comedies, documentaries, and some horror films. Just getting into Thomas Pynchon now - admittedly, a little late. Music-wise, my choices run the gamut, lately really digging folk/Americana and EDM.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
climbing Mount Kenya
Teach, Learn, Share
Back in the day I used to be a classical guitarist. I also played drums and piano. So I have a rusty, yet sound, knowledge of music and can teach. I love learning and teaching languages - and would be happy to practice with anyone who wants to (have taught Hebrew a lot in the past).
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love to cook! Especially Mexican food and bread. Happy to share this with hosts.
