CURRENT MISSION

My life's mission is to be happy and healthy for as long as I can.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in New Jersey. However, my family is from Israel. I am the first generation from my immediate family to live in America. I am a very outgoing person and am easy to get along. Sometimes my friends think I do too much for other people instead of focusing on myself.

I am extremely passionate about music and film. Those are my two favorite hobbies. I am a musician and play guitar, bass, piano, and I sing. If you are a musician as well then you can look forward to having jam sessions and music listening sessions. If you love film then we just might end up watching some movies together!

PHILOSOPHY

The world will be a better place to you if you keep positive, treat others with kindness, and constantly work on achieving your goals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time couch surfing in Bern, Switzerland. The person we stayed with was very nice and took us out to a couch surfing meeting where we met other fellow couch surfers.

My other couch surfing experience was in Basel, Switzerland. We stayed with a great guy who was very accommodating. We also had some enjoyable, and interesting conversations with him.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traveling is about opening your mind to different experiences. Say "YES" to things you haven't tried before. Because that is how you will learn in the school of traveling. Burst out of the bubble that you came from.
