Hello!

I'm currently living in Jerusalem. I've grown up in many different places and feel most at home when travelling. I would love to take the time to travel and meet new people. Likewise, I would gladly host people over the summer and introduce to them to the wonderfully complex culture of Jerusalem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last summer I traveled all around China and Southern Spain with a friend and enjoyed the sense of independence. I think that couch-surfing is a great opportunity to develop that sense of independence and adventure. Moreover, it is a wonderful platform to meet and learn about new people, places and cultures.

Interests

I enjoy studying humanities, especially in history and philosophy.

I'm quite the film geek. I enjoy American Independent Cinema and I am known among my friends as the expert of romantic comedies. It's a well developed guilty pleasure.

In another life, I would be.... a dancer. I have trained in classical ballet for eight years and attempt to embody Mia Wallace on the dance floor.

Did I mention food? Good food and company are all you really need (all that is mentioned above - secondary :) ).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered over a summer in New Delhi for an organization (MESH) that practices Fair Trade with disabled and leprosy crafts artisans around India. I learnt that product design and manufacturing is a process that demands a lot of attention to detail, creativity and most important - patience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very eager to learn other languages ( anyone Italian?)
