Hey everyone, I'm a generally adventurous, easygoing guy and am always looking for new experiences! Something important to know, though, is that I have a lot of dietary restrictions because I am Jewish. Don't worry! I'm used to it and am always used to improvising.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Having grown up in a relatively boring city, I've always had a desire to learn more about other cultures, ways of life, and just soak up others' experiences. Couchsurfing is an amazing way to do that, as it puts you in touch with people, their stories, and sometimes even their hobbies (which I am open to learning as well)!

兴趣

I enjoy reading, hiking (or being out in nature in general), concert-going, and urban exploration. I'm not really one for parties; I definitely prefer relaxing, chatting, and taking in what's around me.

教，学，和分享

I'm really hoping to learn about my host's culture, ways of life, and society. I'm learning Mandarin and Spanish, so if I could pick those up as well, that would be nice :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share a perspective with hosts that they probably have not encountered before. I was born in a small city in America and moved to Israel when I was 18, where I served in the military and now attend school. I think I could share my experiences of having grown up in small-town America as well as in the Middle East. And if any hosts of mine want to practice their English or learn some new Hebrew words and phrases, I could be of help there as well.

Most importantly, I bring a sense of humor!
