Hey there, my name is Eleni. I was born and raised in New York, lived in South Korea for university and have made it a point to travel consistently since. I really appreciate getting to know a new place, city or nature, and as a history teacher, I am always looking to learn new stories. I'm a natural people person and am very easygoing. I love to solo travel but I am always looking for good conversation and company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am overly ambitious with my travel itineraries and try to give my wallet a break when possible. I also have had great experiences couchsurfing before and find once you know a few people in a place, travel gets so much better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I listen to pretty much everything minus EDM and country, other than that, the sky's the limit.
Movies - I love classics and international films
Books - I am a fan of short stories and history books these days. I also love stories about intergenerational connections and historical fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked the longest trail on Hallasan, the tallest mountain of Korea, by accident

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach a lot about New York City and share great travel stories. My go-with-the-flow idea of travel has resulted in a few funny stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a ton of stories and some good laughs. Also, tons of insights on Seoul and NYC if they're interested.
