Hi, I am Elena from originally Siberia in Russia. Since 2012 I live in New Zealand and discover this beautiful country and some other places in the world with my camera.

Working in IT and passionate about Internet and technology and what they can bring to people's life, nevertheless I enjoy life in all possible ways with big love of outdoors and adventures!

I always travel or planning new travels! Now in my plans: national parks of USA, Altai in Russia, South America and.. to be continued :)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Most natural way to know the country is to learn it from locals.

I am pretty sure that couchsurfing is not about providing an accommodation (which is also a good thing), but about sharing special experience, learning fascinating things, opening mind to different cultures and making new friends from all over the world.

Intereses

Keen on the outdoors (hiking, trail running, cycling), photography, healthy food and cooking, technology and bits of art and culture.

Would be interesting to learn gardening, basics of sustainable living, new languages and many other things.

Open minded to everything I am a big fan of metal and rock music and also like something psychedelic/ambient, and drama/arthouse/sci-fi movies.
