Well, to start, my name is Tali, short for Atalia.

I am an extrovert, an ENFJ according to the Myers-Briggs test, and a Gryffindor. I’m a Type A person who’s learning to let go and just breathe.

I work full-time and love my company. I love weightlifting, bikram hot yoga, and reading personal development books (Playing Big and Daring Greatly are my favorites). I'm very slowly taking up jogging because one day I want to be able to go on morning jogs around the city when I travel.

I love to go on walks and explore, and sit in coffee shops and people watch. I love getting caught up in a good conversation, but I also like to be active and dance!

Creativity and self-expression are really important to me, so I’m often writing, sketching, or journaling (I have a blog!). I'm obsessed with movie Zootopia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year, I went on a month-long trip around Europe, but I need to incorporate more travel into my life while I'm still young!

I want to meet people who are making their travel dreams come true, and get to know locals in the places I visit. And also, you know, couchsurf :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love any sort of dance music - Spotify is my favorite because it has so many awesome playlists! I listen to pop and top 40, but am pretty open (except for heavy metal). Love Macklemore.

Movies: ZOOTOPIA. Don't get me started. 10 Things I Hate about You is pretty good.

Books: Anything in personal development. The Art of Racing in the Rain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I joined a consulting firm right out of college, realized I didn't like it, and then three months later asked an executive at my previous company for a job, and took it. I guess that was pretty neat :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sure! I don't know what this question is asking but I'll roll with it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A whole lot of gratitude and hopefully some reassurance that not all of America sucks (I'm in one of the more progressive/liberal cities, I promise some of us are sane!)

Starbucks coffee beans? I'm from Seattle, Washington so let me know if there's something you'd actually like from this side of the states!
