Hey! I am Elena. Nice to meet you.
I am living in Florence, the most beautiful city in the entire world! I am in love with this city and the Italian culture.
Currently I am a student in Florence University of the Arts. I try to travel and see new places once in a while. I love to meet with travelers and listen to their weird travel stories. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People are everything. They make it all happen. They inspire us, they bring their gifts by sharing their knowledge, and together, we create cool things. There are a lot of people in this world and there’s gotta be someone out there who can help you overcome your challenges. For every problem you have, there’s a solution. Either a product or another person offering a service. And if you’ve got a problem without a solution, then it’s your job to create one. But to make it, you need the people. And not the same people you already know. So you need to meet with new people. I consider strangers "friends I haven't met yet." Thats why I am here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove an Uber cab and it’s also one of the best things I have done because it helped me save my own life! Driving a cab on your own is better than traveling in a car driven by a sleepy driver and getting involved in an accident!
