Hello! My name is Elena.
I am a 25 year old Swiss Girl. I recently finished my studies and now I want to find out more about the world. :) I am a very curious person, interested in people and their stories and the society as a whole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Compared to airbnb couchsurfing hosts don't evade taxes and the gain is even better - also with no financial profit from it. :)

Interests

I am interested in politics, social structures and movements. I like reading the newspapers, watching well researched documentaries or informative programms, hearing about other peoples experiences and having nice discussions or conversations about the world and its gods.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I really enjoy listening to Fauve, Angélique Kidjo, Dobet Gnahoré and Aziza Brahim. Hearing Aziza Brahim sing live in concert was one of the most moving experiences I had with music. Another great concert last year was the one of Catherine Ringer in Lausanne. This woman is also really someone to admire!

Teach, Learn, Share

During my studies I worked for or supported different non-commercial cultural and social institutions or projects in Switzerland. I would like to find out more about projects in other places and maybe offer my support.
