About Me

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE TO HOST

Hi, I'm Elena, and I'm originally Macedonian, but I live in Slovenia. But currently (sept-feb, maybe more), I'm attending classes in Barcelona as an Erasmus exchange student. I study Textile Engineering, and usually, people ask me what that is? What do you study exactly? Well, i study how to make the material from the field to the material store. I'm a magician at making material waterproof, oil proof, or fireproof depending on what you need.

But I'm nearing a page turner, which means I'm finishing up my studies, and I'm trying to find out what I want to do, where I want to live. I have a calling to volunteer for a long term, and I believe I will do it soon. I want to learn things from practice or non-formal education since that is the best way to see if you like something or not (basically, experiences are everything)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know other people, cultural exchange, travel experience like no other, building connections and friendships, returning the favor of hosting you

I'm on a new jurney in which I'm writing Erasmus+ projects, and I'm always looking for inspiration.. so be my inspiration
