Hello everyone!
I'm Elina, nice to meet you. I'm from Pescara, a small city in the center of Italy, near by the Adriatic coast. I grew up in Italy, eating pasta every day, but I was born in Russian, in a very small city, called Monchegorsk, where I used to live till I were six years. Then from the snowing mountains I went to sunny beach, and it felt so good. Italy is a beautiful country, and i'm still discovering its beautiful places.
Well, what more about me? I'm studying "Political science and international relationship" at university of Teramo, now I'm going to start the second year. Meanwhile I'm working as a freelance model, and thanks to this I got the opportunity to visit China this year, I been there two months and it was amazing! So thanks to this job I have started to have "my personal pocket money" and I decided to spend them all in travelling around the world.
What more?! Ah, I'm so easy going person, full of energy and curious, I like to talk with people, and know their origin, and also I love hang out!
So I hope in my future travel to meet new friends, and enjoy this experience on Couchsurfing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered Couchsurfing in my last travel, I been in Praha, and I meet a nice guy, that is actually a guide, and while we went around this beautiful city, he told me about this website and his experience on Couchsurfing, and I swear I never heard about. So I decided to try, but unfortunately I could not host people, I'm still leaving with my parents, and our flat is so small.
So meanwhile I waiting to finish my university and going away from Pescara, I hope I will be a great Couchsurfer !

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love every kind of music, but if I have to choose, I think I will surround my self between indie rock * Arctic Monkeys are my fav one, and old school hiphop, like Notorious BIG, Nate Dogg and this kind of staff.
Movies, mm , I'm not and expert in Cinema, but I love watching films and series. Literature is one of my passion, I love classic books, my favorite one is "The process" of Kafka, or "Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore" of Italo Calvino (sorry but I don't know the english title).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I've done is definitively happened to me this year: I did my first big travel : interrail. I been in five different cities: Wien, Prague, Berlin, Copenaghen and Amsterdam. I went with my friend, Chiara, and It was a magical experience, I realized my dream, and I still cannot explain what I have felt in those days.
