About Me

I'm studying management at the University of Florida. I'm going to Israel the first two weeks of May, then backpacking through Europe with my sister and a friend. We hope to make many new friends during our travels and gain new and fun stories to share. After our travels, I will return to Israel for a two month internship. Then, I will be off to Hong Kong to study at HKUST!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel and meet new people of course! I have had many amazing experiences couchsurfing in the past, which I want to continue having. I prefer couchsurfing because I think it is so much more fun to explore new cities with locals. Also, I have made many friends through couchsurfing, and I hope to make many more!

Interests

Dancing and yoga are my main hobbies. I also love learning languages, and I am currently learning Portuguese! I am also interested in economic development, which is why I am studying to become a management consultant, so I can gain experience, and eventually join the Peace Corps.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE reggaeton and latin music. Shakira and Enrique are my favorites. Disney movies are my favorite, and I enjoy reading science fiction and romance novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a volunteer in Peru for three months at a foundation for children living in severe poverty or whose parents have passed away. I took care of the 6 and 7 year old children, around 15 of them. I was basically like a big sister and friend to the children. It was a great experience for me, and I still miss the kids so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish! And I can teach you how to bake, and share my experiences and crazy stories. I also love learning about other cultures and hearing different perspectives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook and share meals together, share a bottle of wine, have a fun time and explore!
