I'm Elena, from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've been living in Madrid since last year's August and studying a masters degree in the Reina Sofia Museum. I'm keen on arts, but running, reading and traveling as well. I work part time as collaborator in some art and cultural magazines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling to Kassel's Documenta now in June. I have already bought my tickets from Madrid, but I think I've been too slow for booking cheap or normal prices accommodation, so now only the expensive ones are left. I have never done coachsurfing, but you know what they say... there's always a first time, and I'm really excited about it :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies that I've recently watched as "Somewhere", "La Grande Belleza", "100 metros", books I've recently read as "Correspondencia Privada" by Esther Tusquets; "Boquitas Pintadas", by Manuel Puig; "El Amante", by Marguerite Duras; "The Blunderer", by Patricia Highsmith. As for music, I don't have much preferences about it, I may listen from something like Tame Impala to Barbara Lewis, or from Disclosure to Babasonicos, I don´t care much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to Madrid :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish and continue practicing my english by sharing our lives and traveling experiences, as well as sharing my good mood and latinamerican vibes... I'm an easy going person!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook.
Sorry, I can't accept guests as long as I stay in Madrid, I live in a shared apartment.
