Hello lovely people!

I'm Elena, I'm an Italian girl living in London. I love traveling, exploring new places and learning about different cultures. At this point in my life I would love to see more of Europe!

I love to share a beer/wine and some nice food, walk and explore or simply watch a film you love together.

I produce films for a living and I'm blessed to be surrounded by ridiculously talented creatives at all times. I'm naturally curious and always on the look-out for new stories and perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to connect with like-minded travellers and make new friends all over the world :)

It's my first time using Couchsurfing - I have been wanting to try for a good while, now the time has come - I promise I'm a nice person x

I would love to meet locals who can show me around and experience the cities despite the short amount of time.

In return I would be glad to host you in London.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favourite film is The Conformist by Bertolucci (1970). A film I watched recently and loved is The Whale by Darren Aronofsky (2022) - sad but would worth watching!

I love several music genres, from rock to live jazz to techno - recommend me a club in your city?

My favourite book is probably Germinal by Emile Zola :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking my way through Jordan!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to practice my rusty French and Spanish - in return I can teach you some Italian/English.

I can teach you how to be a real Italian (to be honest you only need to be complaining 91% of the time and you're pretty much there)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook you some delish Italian food (or share crazy gossips about movie stars if you're into it?)

I can give you plenty of recommendations for London and Italy for when you come visit.

Countries I’ve Lived In
