Hi everyone!

I am Elena, I am from Italy and after more than 11 years living and working in different continents, I have decided to take a sabbatical and see whereabouts this leap will take me. I have already spent some months visiting friends and family around the US , Europe and South America, and I feel recharged of love right now! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couchsurfed quite a bit and it has always been great! The first time was in a very important moment of my life. When I moved to London I didn't know anyone there and having a nice couchsurfer waiting for me there made my experience great from the very beginning. Couchsurfers also made my recent tour of Argentina and Chile truly memorable.

I am looking forward to keeping meeting great people through Couchsurfing!
