CURRENT MISSION

knowing myself better

ABOUT ME

My name is Elena and I'm just another 23 year old girl who wants to travel the world. I enjoy meeting new friends and discover new places. Most of the time I'm happy and easy to handle - if I'm not hungry ;-)
At the moment I live and study in Sweden being an exchange student. In 2017 I'll be back to Germany.

PHILOSOPHY

I am Christian and I love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been hosted in Sweden and Denmark. Hosted a girl from France once. Attended several CS meetings.

Interests

I love music and I like to dance (jazz, latin, freestyle), meeting friends, talking about life, philosophy and everything while having a coffee and joking around. When I discover new places I often do sightseeing, visit museums or take part in a free guided tour. Anyway I like the active way of living! And though I like to travel on my own I am almost never lonely.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to the radio as I work at a radiostation myself (so it's mostly mainstream music), but I also like musicals, acoustic music and christian worship songs. I play the piano myself and I adore wellmade street music!!

I like to watch dramas, comedies or romances. "Forrest Gump", "Jane Eyre" and "Awakening" are some of my favorites. I watch "Suits".

I read the bible, because it inspires me. I enjoy German classical literature such as Goethe, Heine, Lessing and others (that's also part of my studies). Also stuff from medieval times and poems. Currently I read a baroque roman named "Simplicissimus".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went for a swim in the lake with my roommate after a party at five in the morning.
Tried to eat a tree. Met the pope by accident in a swedish city I visited.
