Hello everyone! :)
My name´s Alena and I am a 23 years old travel enthusiast and a recent tourism management graduate. I´ve been living in Aalborg for the past three years and my current mission is to finally learn Danish. As I have recently found out, that I can´t really use my tourism degree in Denmark (especially Aalborg), I decided to take a language course and start another degree in Danish - and this time I chose a "pedagog education" and want to focus on special pedagogy in the future.
Before Denmark, I used to live in Ireland, where I worked on a farm with horses and then I moved to the Netherlands for a year and was an au-pair there.
I love travelling and getting to know new cultures and people, which is also why I am on couchsurfing. I also like all kinds of sports and I am always up for trying new ones - I like running, cycling, rockclimbing, snowboarding, horseriding...recently I also started doing some yoga and became addicted to it quite quickly :)
Besides sports and travelling I also like to read a lot and to learn new languages (although I am not sure, if will be ever able to master Danish :D).
I´m a vegan myself and I like cooking and trying out different recipes, so you can expect a lot of fruit and vegetable if I host you at my place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great opportunity how to meet locals and people with a similar mindset while travelling.

Interests

All kinds of sport ( horseriding, rockclimbing, cycling, running..), reading, learning new languages, travelling...and of course meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I am also one of these people who just need to keep themselves busy all the time :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Nirvana, Beatles, The Doors, 80s and 90s music ...I am pretty much able to listen to anything, huge fan of Harry Potter books, Jack Kerouac, John Krakauer, Into the wild...
...also, after I have seen the Bohemian Rhapsody movie, I became addicted to Queen and their music and that´s also why I want to learn to play piano again :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

went abroad on my own after finishing gymnasium in my own country (and never came back :D)
