CURRENT MISSION

live life without regret

ABOUT ME

I'm an Industrial Design student based in Jerusalem that grew up all over the world and spends most of my time building things, making music, and if at all possible building things that make music. I talk to people everywhere I go and I am always amazed how much there is to learn. I think I enjoy figuring out how to do something more than doing something and I enjoy showing others even more. I think love is the biggest project of all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted people since before I had an account... actually, my family has always hosted people before there was Internet. I guess I'm just used to it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never been surfing yet officially, only been hosting. When ever I have traveled I have just met people in person. I really loved having Leilana when she was in Jerusalem.
