I´m Alena, 23 years old Student for Psychology, living in Berlin. I like being around people a lot, inviting people and going out. Im really into travelling, festivals, concerts. As a half italian I enjoy wine and good food. Recently I started doing yoga very regularly but my flatmate and dear friend encoured me to try out more unconventional things - thats why i started with a hula hoop course.. Its so much fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made my first couchsurfing experience two years ago in Israel. I realized, that what makes a journey special is the experiences you make getting to know other people.
Places are so much more beautiful if see them "trough the eyes" of a local, instead of following the tourist attractions.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Berlin techno scene has defenetly left its marks...Im really into techno but recently I'm fascinated more and more by faster stuff, like psytrance & goa.
But my taste of music is quite broad. Im also listening to hip-hop, jazz, funk and also to classic music.
I´m a huge fan of the Elena Ferrante´s tetralogy "my brilliant friend" and can´t wait until the last part will be published! Other favourits are Elif Shafak, Juli Zeh and Camus!
