Hello everyone!
I'm Elena, Italian, from Malo (a little town ). I'm studying at Ca Foscari University in Venice, my main is Japanese.
But currently I'm exchanging student at Showa Women's University, in Tokyo!

I'm interested in art, music and fashion. I tend to lurk around museums for hours and love a long chat over tea, coffee. I love traveling, hiking, being outdoors, reading, and enjoying life.

I hope to meet many friendly and inspiring people along the way on this adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an amazing way to meet people from all over the world, and through it, everyone can increase their understanding of other cultures, ways of thinkings, and philosophies on life.

As a surfer I am clean and respectful of other's homes. If you have a kitchen I'd love to help with dinner since I love to cook!

I'm looking forward to meet fantastic people.
Can't wait to explore the world!

Interests

Music has always been a huge part of my life since I was 8 years old, when I started taking lessons of piano and guitar. I would like to learn music composition in future. My brother and my father influenced me the most with their tastes in music, but I was able to develop my owns!

I like taking photos and editing. Mainly I like portrait photos, trying to capture the moment. I have a Canon and a old Polaroid 600.
