About Me

Hi travellers!

I’m Elena, a happiness coach, currently based in Europe. I have a deep passion for exploring new cultures, meeting interesting people, and sharing memorable experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is more than just a place to stay—it’s a community of like-minded adventurers. I love the idea of cultural exchange and the opportunity to create meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. I have a passion for beautiful environments, elegance, and sophistication, and I appreciate hosts who enjoy sharing their unique experiences and creating memorable moments.

I have recently moved to a new place and am still in the process of furnishing it. Once my space is organized and I have added a comfortable environment for my guests, I will be happy to host.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I start my day with classical music, especially Vivaldi, while preparing my morning coffee or tea. In the afternoon or evening, I switch to jazz, which pairs perfectly with a relaxing atmosphere. While driving, I prefer energetic music like rock, although I don’t attend rock concerts due to my dislike of crowds.

Films:
I attend film festivals occasionally to stay up-to-date but don’t usually watch many films. I prefer documentaries on topics that interest me.

Books:

I enjoy books like “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown and “L’Arte di Vivere dei Saggi” by Antonio Meneghetti., “In Patagonia” by Bruce Chatwin and “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert, and Honoré de Balzac, books such as “Treatise on Elegant Living.”

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively across Europe and beyond. Some of my favorite experiences include hiking in the Swiss Alps, savoring authentic pasta in a small Italian village, and getting lost in the vibrant streets of Barcelona. Each trip brings new stories and lifelong friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

• Travel: Of course! Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a month-long journey.
• Cooking: I enjoy experimenting with recipes from around the world and sharing meals with friends. Primarily, I’m vegan but I sometimes enjoy trying local seafood as part of the cultural experience.
• Yoga and Wellness: Yoga is a part of my daily routine, and I love indulging in spa treatments and other wellness activities. I could define myself as hedonist and I appreciate the luxuries of life.
• Minimalism: Despite my love for luxury, I embrace minimalism in my everyday life, focusing on quality over quantity.
• Theater and Classical Music: I love attending theater performances and classical music concerts.
• Golf: I recently started playing golf and would love to improve my skills. If you play, I’d be happy to join you for a game.
• Environmental Psychology: As an expert, I help organise office and home spaces to reduce stress and promote well-being.

What I Can Share with Hosts

• Coaching Approach: I incorporate my coaching approach into everyday interactions, helping others achieve their goals and find success.
• Cultural Insights: Having lived and worked in different parts of Europe, I can share insights about diverse cultures, traditions, and cuisines.
• Cooking Skills: I can introduce you to some vegan recipes and a few of my favorite dishes.
• Travel Stories: I have plenty of stories to share from my travels and am eager to hear yours too.
