Buongiorno!
Sono Elena, sono russa ma i miei amici dicono che sono russa per sbaglio. Amo viaggiare ma soprattutto amo Italia, la lingua, il cibo, la gente, la natura.

Studio Beni Culturali all'università degli studi di Palermo.

Ho visto tanti posti (Italia più dei molti italiani) ma sempre vorrei scoprirne di più. Mi piace conoscere locali e così ho imparato l'italiano - parlando in viaggi.

Preferisco stare dagli amici e locali (a volte uso airbnb) perché posso imparare qualcosa (e assagiare il ragù della nonna degli amici 😍) e vedere la vita com'è. Poi viaggio da sola cosi è bello mangiare in compagnia e chiaccherare.

Scrivo dei viaggi, cibo e mentalità degli italiani su Instagram @savelyevaelena.

La pagina in inglese è un po' vecchia e adesso preferisco parlare italiano.

Se sei italiano e mi scrivi in inglese significa che guardi solo le foto o non sai leggere... o entrambi =)

Ciao e buona giornata!

Hi!
I am new on CS and I'm very excited about that type of travelling.

I was born in St. Petersburg and I've lived there for all my life, but travelling is my passion. I really like to see new places and countries in its local way. I like planning journey by myself for day and nights. For many years I've travelled with airbnb and don't like hotels because they have no special atmosphere that can give you the feeling like you're at home. Some hosts were so friendly like they were our family and we were happy to stay there.

Many people on CS are so easy-going, but I think I'm more quite, but can spend hours talking about food and travelling.)

Also I am interested in cooking so I prefer to cook at home instead of going to restaurants, even on holidays. I have site with my own recipes savelevaelena.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel to a new country I like to meet local people and see how they live. I don't like hotels.
The best way to experience the country is chat with people who live there.

Unfortunately now I can't host you but if you speak Italian I would be glad to show you my city.

Interests

As I said I like cooking and creating new simple and tasty food recipes that will be also healthy. I don't like diets and prefer eating a lot of different foods.

Also I like active travelling. I will choose walking around the city instead of spend all day in the restraints and beach. And my dream day is trekking in the moutains.

I fond of fitness and healthy living. It's my passion for about 10 years.
And I like the idea of recycle though it's not very popular in Russia.

Music, Movies, and Books

As I like italian language I prefer italian music.

I read books about food, health, psychology and history.
