I'm Elena, I am an Italian living in Moscow. I'm studying at university, and, in the meanwhile, trying to get the best about this huge and interesting city. I am very curious about different cultures and languages.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I think that always going to hotels is surely a comfort, but you never truly get to know the local people. And even though tourist guides can show you historical places and help you go sightseeing, the real, authentic life of a place can be explored only by understanding its people. Couchsurfing is a really interesting way to do that!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

In general, I like rock and alternative music, but my tastes tend to vary a lot and I like experimenting. My favourite band, however, is Arctic Monkeys - I'd follow them anywhere. As for my favourite book, it's hard to say. At the moment, the one that inspired me the most was My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

"Non tutto quel ch'è oro brilla,
Né gli erranti sono perduti;
Il vecchio ch'è forte non s'aggrinza,
Le radici profonde non gelano.
Dalle ceneri rinascerà un fuoco,
L'ombra sprigionerà una scintilla;
Nuova sarà la lama ora rotta,
E re quel ch'è senza corona"
