ABOUT ME

I meet the most random people on planes, my friend Bridget says that makes me outgoing. I enjoy being with simple people who really listen and just want to see the world from a different perspective, experience life and learn from it. I also love the arts and it's hard to tell which art I love most. Maybe drama because it brings together so many arts forms.

PHILOSOPHY

people are who you make them believe they are

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started surfing with friends in some places and am now the friend that introduces people to couchsurfing :) I hosted my first lovely guest in Haifa and am now traveling again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in New York and I had a great time meeting people who showed my friend and me the touristy places but also introduced us to some hidden gems :)

PEOPLE I ENJOY

I very much enjoy meeting people who have also traveled or who are interested in different life styles, politics, arts, education or virtually anything.. I would have a great time listening to scientific research even though I am pretty awful at doing it myself but I love talking to people who have a passion for something and want to share it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to make latex masks, how to bake lemon poppy seed pound cake, can teach some ballroom dance, a magic spoon trick
When it comes to learning: I want to learn Calligraphy, how to weld and how to make ceramics mugs. I am pretty open to learning anything apart from dissecting animals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook for and with people, share travel stories and music
