CURRENT MISSION

Seizing everyday life as a learning opportunity; I feel that every experience of our relationship to people, places, and things can give us a perspective or insight about ourselves and the way we relate to the world

ABOUT ME

I'm trying to always be mindful of a new opportunity for a memorable experience, such as meeting an awesome human being to learn from and make positive memories with! Almost always interested to have a nice chat over beer, coffee, or staring at the ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

"The future is already here. It's just unevenly distributed."

"the oppressive sense of shock, dismay, and alienation that come with realizing the futility and meaninglessness of life as it's normally lived; a chastening sense of our own complacency and foolishness in having let ourselves live so blindly; and an anxious sense of urgency in trying to find a way out of the meaningless cycle"

"Just think, long ago someone may have wished upon a star that you are made of."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started couchsurfing, but so far, so good!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First couchsurfing.org experience in Haifa was great! Wasn't sure what to expect, so I tossed expectations to the wind and found myself meeting an awesome person and getting a fun and informative perspective on the Haifa area and Israel at large.
