Hiking is the activity which brings me peace and makes me feel inner strength. I enjoy hiking alone and I enjoy hiking with friends. When I am alone I focus more on my surroundings and fully enjoying them.

Hanging out with friends makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love the companionship of close friends. They help me to feel less alone in the world. I want to thank all my friends for supporting me in my times of chaos.

Reading fantasy adventure books lets me imagine that the world is a magical place.

I enjoy all sorts of non-dissonant music. I particularly love Israeli music.

Studying language and foreign languages has been my passion in life. I studied German and Spanish in highschool, Hebrew in College, Thai post-college and Bengali in Graduate School. I am currently interested in studying Mandarin and Cantonese to get more in touch with my Chinese roots.
