Hi, I'm Alena. I am from Washington state (not the capitol) in the US. Because I grew up in the pacific northwest region surrounded by forests and mountains, I have a love for all things outdoorsy like hiking, backpacking, and camping. Climbing is a special passion I have- rock climbing, mountaineering, urban climbing, it's all good.

As much as I enjoy being in nature, I love city adventures. I like exploring , museums, city parks, coffee shops, and FOOD! I'm not a picky eater and love trying new dishes and cuisines.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I graduated from university and moved to the Czech Republic. I teach English in Prague during the week and leave the city to travel and hike on the weekends. I I am looking to go on adventures with new friends :)

I like getting off beaten path and seeing a city from a local's perceptive!

教，学，和分享

I enjoy sharing travel and adventure stories, the best ones seem to come from when the trip doesn't go quite as planned.

I love to cook and I'd be happy to make a meal for a host. I like learning new things about food from foodies.
