I value authenticity, and I cherish honest conversations, discussions, and new perspectives. I value openness and warmth. I get along with most people, and I enjoy meeting new ones. I believe people are naturally inclined to share love and kindness. Having grown up with three siblings, I enjoy having people around me.

My current travel mantra is to stay balanced, keep an open mind, and keep my eyes open to see new places and people. Whatever it is, it's already here ... so let me experience it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couch-surfed in the U.S. around Europe, Israel, and in Australia and it was a wonderful experience! Looking forward to building on that with hosting and surfing!

Interests

I work in the field of psychology with a recently finished PhD in chronobiology/sleep research. Currently I am transitioning into clinical psychology.

I enjoy meditation, basketball, calisthenics, water sports, dancing, jamming, listening to live music (and NPR's tiny desk format!), going to art exhibitions and soaking up on culture.

I also love being outside, absorbing sunshine, oceans and beaches, and getting lost in cities and landscapes by foot.
