I'm a great listener and will put things in perspective. I love to be adventurous, and I love the outdoors. I am a big fan of traveling and since graduating college in May, I lived in Thailand and explored the country, as well as Cambodia and Vietnam. Now I plan to return to America, but first I plan on traveling through Europe for a bit.

I was born in Israel, moved to the suburbs of Chicago at age 6, to LA at age 18, and to Thailand at age 22. Then I went back to LA for grad school, then back to Chicago. I am currently on a three month trip through South America :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now, mainly to find hosts in different parts of South America in order to enjoy the South American perspective, find the most authentic food, and learn about the culture. But in general, once I'm back in the states, to make friends in the area. Once I am settled down, I hope to offer my couch to fellow surfers :)

Interests

I was a sociology major, and the topic really fascinates me. I love meeting new people and understanding different cultures and ways of thinking.
I love drinking and philosophizing and dancing and singing and all kinds of stuff. I love learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English in Thailand for six months. It was a wonderful, unique experience unparalleled by any other event in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to buy us a bottle of wine and walk through the city, exchange cultures, and explore. I can explain American and Israeli culture.
