Currently on my very first solo bike packing trip starting off Basel to and up at North Cape eventually

My name ist Elli, I am a medical doctor, but currently in between jobs, so I enjoy the time off and will be on and off travelling for the year :)

In my spare time I like being active. I do a lot of sports, love nature and generally being outdoors. Also I am interested in culture and society. Taking it easy I can absolutely enjoy a good book, conversation or just sit around a bar for a drink or two watching people while chatting along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do enjoy travelling a lot and am curious to meet new people be it at home or abroad and create and share experiences :)

During Erasmus in Norway back in 2015 we used to host couchsurfers in our flatshare and I did enjoy the experiences I've made back then.
