My name's Elfin, I'm 21 years old and I currently live in England, but I spend about half the year abroad working as a dive master. I love to have fun, I don't take life too seriously but I have my aspirations and goals in life set. I love to go for adventures, I'm very spontaneous and it always works out better that way! I have a passion for life and the world and have been told I'm "relentlessly positive".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My biggest passion is experiencing things, new places, new people, new anything, and I've been doing things like workaway and blablacar for a few years now, it always seems to be the most fulfilling experience. What's better than meeting a local and getting to experience a part of their life?!

Interests

In my spare time I love going for hikes and forest walks, exploring castle ruins and general adventuring. Visiting museums, art galleries and sanctuaries is always fun, but not what i do often. I have a passion for scuba diving and enjoy paragliding every so often, and I like making gift boxes and other crafty things. I also enjoy gaming and partying

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
