About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live life fully and freely; be a bit more open, go a bit deeper

ABOUT ME

My friends tend to see me as curious, full of life energy, spontaneous, and playful. Though I also have a more serious, deep, and spiritual side to me.

I tend to see life as an adventure... starting now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This would be my 1st Couch Surfing experience.

Interests

I love to hike and be outdoors, and I just finished a 2-month hike along the length of Israel. Back home, I regularly run and do yoga. I also meditate daily. I also go to the Burning Man Festival once a year.

I am working on a PhD now, on organizational behavior/psychology, so I spend a lot of time thinking about how people work.

In my free time, I love to dance and explore the city I'm living in.

I really value my friends and family. The hardest part about traveling is leaving them behind

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While in the Negev desert of Israel, I was caught in a massive hailstorm on the edge of a cliff, which dropped off in both directions. I felt torn between awe of waterfalls emerging in the desert from thin air and the fear that I wouldn't survive the pelting of ice and flooding. It ended with a stunning rainbow.
