Hi,

I just quit my San Francisco tech job, and am back at square 1. I was a project manager for a startup that was acquired by Big Tech. I got everything I wanted on paper, and it made me terribly unhappy.

I'm starting from square 1, terribly burned out, but determined to reconnect with the things I love; reading, writing, art, travel, and human connection.

I used to be a semi-professional writer, and I'm seriously considering pursuing that again. As a day job, I'm interested in managing nonprofits, or possibly tutoring writing again. I just want to go to bed at night feeling like I've done something worthwhile.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing was recently brought to my attention when I was nearly stranded in a strange city. Though a friend came through for me, I think this is a wonderful idea.

I'm trying to re-engage with a more connected way of living, after a breakneck paced year.

Музыка, кино и книги

I love horror and fantasy novels; Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, etc. I read a ton of nonfiction, though. I'm currently reading a natural history of seeds called "Seeds" by Thor Hanson.

My favorite movies are The Silence of the Lambs, and Good Will Hunting. That said, I watch very few movies/shows.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I moved to Tel Aviv for school, knowing no one.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I love cooking, and would be delighted to cook a meal together! I can teach you to Blues dance, too. It's one of my favorite hobbies
