CURRENT MISSION

Round The World Tour

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Elena and I've studied History of Arts at the University of Perugia and I'm just gradueted (finally!). Reached this milestone I decided to take a period of "reflection", I'll go / escape away for a while with my boyfriend, we're planning a round the world tour, not the one in 80 days, but in a year. I have a strong and determined character, I'm a courious girl who loves arts and I'd really like to experience differents ways of life, you know, it's good to meet new people and let ourselfs enrich from them; that's the reason why I decided to become member of couchsurfing. At the moment I need to see other places, also if I live in a beautiful city, Perugia, and then I'll decide if keep on study in Italy or open a bar on the beach :) LOL
Other things about me, I love reade and when I go on holiday there must always be a small part dedicated to the culture, museums, exhibitions etcc .. This doesn't mean that I dont know how to have fun and I think to be a person of good company.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to see beautisness in everything, this is Art and must keep Art in every things we do..
Fun. love. culture. travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I know CS because preparing my trip and I'm sorry that I didn't know it before!I've been in a few party here in Perugia, I had so much fun to meet new people, there are a lot of interesting persons round the world and CS help to connect them

Interests

I love painting since I was a child, my picture represents my imagination, but some times I like to portrait people and things that strickes me, or that are important for me, and I made a little personal exhibition here in my town, to says by before going..
For many years I was a dancer and I didn't do anything else, and it gave me great satisfaction, but it's a passion that I have lived apart a little to discover "the world" =)Also if I continue to get interested in it, as a spectator, or just for fun..
If someone propose me something new I accept it with joy, but also with caution, my next adventure? Around the world Tour!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll never forget when I jumped to 2000 m with a parachute, together with my boyfriend, I felt a unique sensation, pure adrenaline and excitement! In addition, the sea view from that height is fantastic ...
A fundamental experience is living in Paris alone, I came without knowing not a word of French nor the city, but upon leaving I would not have wanted to go more! I trained a lot and made ​​me more sure of myself, and then I fell in love with Paris and the French!
The most beautiful place we've been to is the beach of Izmir, in Turkey, the house where I was facing the sea, and the beach consisted of a cliff with a pair of colorful bamboo umbrellas, set among the rocks, and wooden boards on which to hang the curtains, then there was a ladder that fell directly in the Aegean Sea, deep, cold and clear. Faced with this "beach" there was an island, 500 m away, empty and full of shells and bushes strange, one morning we tied the thong to the costume and swam up to it, the only cooked, but once arrived we went through it all on foot.
