About Me

Peace, freedom, and respect to all ✌️
I come from a complicated corner of the world and have complicated feelings about it. Please don't judge me based on my nationality, sexuality, religion, etc. I won't judge you without knowing you either!

I'm bouncing around this planet for a bit now after finishing medical school and excited to finally enjoy having some free time to explore :)
I've met amazing people over the years through CS (as a host and a surfer) and can't wait to see who else is out there
Love to meet new people who are different from me...where do you come from? where are you going? why? Not that I can always answer those questions for myself but that's part of the fun too haha

Proudly Jewish, proudly queer, proudly me 💕

try to live each day I have :)

Hiked a volcano in the rainforest to see gorillas in the wild in Rwanda

Studied in a religious seminary for 4 years on my way to becoming a rabbi (decided not to in the end!)

Backpacked across western Europe for 2 months with CS

Spent hours alone on the deck of a ship in the Mediterranean with stars above and glowing plankton below
