Hello!
I am Ela, I am a loving person from Colombia who loves to travel the world and meet beautiful people along the way. I have been living in Europe for the past 5 years, traveling and working on creative, social and sustainable projects.

I am a designer by profession and an artist at heart, I love experimenting with art, crafts, writing and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I usually do it by volunteering, because I like to meet local people, experience the place with them and getting to know the culture better, sharing knowledge. A year ago I traveled with a friend to the Amazon and that's how I discovered couchsurfing. It was a very beautiful experience and I decided to open my own profile for my next trips.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading:
Let's Become Fungal! , Relationship Anarchy: Occupy Intimacy! and the artist's way

The last book I read and loved was Someone who will Love you in all your damaged glory by the same creator of Bojack Horseman.

I really like Studio Ghibli, anime (delighted with Kotaro Lives Alone), the Midnight Gospel and similar things. Also series like Fleabag, crashing, sense 8, Frontera verde and so on.

Music ...I like a little bit of everything. Lately I've been listening to boleros, urban music made by queer people, indie - rock and jazz, sad, chill or Latin songs that make me move my whole body.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the arts, right now I am delighted with embroidery and repairing clothes, I am learning a little more about sewing. I love painting, drawing and singing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im really good making crafts and various things, but i can help with whatever you need. Plus I make beautiful embroidery and I'm learning handpoke for risky people haha.

Also im from colombia, so my home is always open if you are traveling and im there. As well as super good suggestions of what you can do.
