Hey! I'm Eleanor and I'm 23 years old. I graduated from University two years ago and since then I've been travelling and working intermittently. I'm currently attempting a 'Year of Yes', where I say yes to anything I possibly can. I've decided to make a go of a longer-term travelling trip around Europe, as sharing life experiences with other people in new cultures is, I think, an incredible opportunity and what makes life worth living for me. Through my journey's before, I have realised how much of a different experience each new place is when you know someone local. I'm really excited about experiencing the genuine aspects of a country/place, rather than just the tourist veneer. I am a voracious reader and I am curious about everything - I love to learn and understand, especially about people. If I stayed with you I would love to learn about you, what you love, what you've done in your life and hopefully give something back to you. I love music (I sing, play guitar and play piano) and I love books. I am a massive foodie and love to cook (as well as eat!). I'm very active, whether that's hiking, climbing, swimming or cycling. I love people, more than anything, which is one of my main reasons for travelling. I've always found the days I've enjoyed most are those spent with interesting people and sharing cultures rather than necessarily those ticking off all the "tourist" boxes.
