Description
I am presently embarking on an indefinite nomad life. Excited to find out where I end up!
I believe I am at my best when I am visiting new places and meeting new people. If I can do this while also helping others, that is also a plus!
I'm very easygoing, sometimes shy, but love meeting people and hearing their life stories. I grew up in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community (some would say cult) in New York, so I have some wild stories to share myself. I grew up living a very different kind of life than what most people are used to. Now what interests me most is learning about different ways of life and all the possibilities that are out there for how to interact with the world. I can't think of any other way of doing this than traveling and meeting people from all over the world.
I have an education in chemistry, psychology, and philosophy (B.S.) and an M.A. in American Studies and enjoy discussing all of these subjects and more! -

I felt right at home from the start, and Jonathan's easygoing nature and clear communication made the work exchange a breeze. I took care of the animals on the ranch, including the adorable Cali, who lives in the volunteer dorm and is the sweetest little thing. I also … read more
