My name is Eleni and I am a 24 year old student in the University of Athens. I am studying Turkish and Modern Asian Studies . I am really into travelling and every time I get the chance I travel. I am an optimistic, easy going and an open-minded person and I always enjoy meeting interesting people.

My dream is to travel the world with a renovated van and enjoy the natural landscapes of the planet and be able to witness as much as I possibly can. I love camping, swimming and any activities that are associated with nature. I am also a huge fan of photography especially taking photos with my analogue zenit which is my must company whenever i travel.

My dream destination is New Zealand, Tibet and i would be really happy if I could manage to see the amazing national parks of Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion it really helps to really know a place by hanging out with the locals! Also, nowadays any kind of personal connection and interaction is just priceless. It really helps you being more social and respectful about new cultures and civilizations.
