Hi everyone! I’m Eleanor I’m 22 years old and after graduating university I have been travelling and working around the world in Europe and South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wonderful friend Jella from Germany who I worked with in Peru recommended it. We had a great time in Cusco with her host Marco - so here I am! We made great memories and I saw a different way of travelling and connecting with people :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in the cloud forest of Machu Picchu for a month - it was incredible. I hiked up the mountains, explored Incan ruins, saw all of the wonderful wildlife (possibly a puma - hard to tell in the pitch black) and did wild camping in the jungle! I have a lot of mosquito scars and a lot of great memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak English and (a bit of) Spanish, I love learning about different cultures (I did anthropology and archaeology at university) and I would love to share some of my traveller tales.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a great brunch! The perfect hangover/post gym cure! And some questionable salsa skills.
