I’m Elisa, a peaceful and smiling girl. Curious, I’m pretty much interested by everything!

Of course I love traveling, meeting new people and especially observing the culture differences. That the reason why I choose to work in the hotel industry!

I’m currently on a work VISA in Georgia working as a Guest Relations in a Spa Boutique Hotel. Before going back to France and finish my studies I’m planning a one month trip around the US with Florian.

PHILOSOPHY

Sorry it's in French:
"Et à de nombreuses raisons d’aimer le monde j'en avais ajoutais une nouvelle" Stephane Zweig

" Ce n’est pas ce que vous apportez qui fait la différence mais ce que vous comprenez du pays. Vous avez raison de vouloir partir. Et vous n’aurez pas tort de décider de revenir. On part pour changer de vie. Et, quand on en revient, la vie nous a changé."

But here is the traduction :-)
"And for many reasons to love the World, I had added a new another one"

"The difference doesn’t come from what you bring but from what you understand of the country. You’re right to leave. And you’ll be right if you decide to come back. We leave to change life but when we came back, life has changed us. "

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered CS a few years ago and start to take part in CS events, meet people for drinks to practice language and to show to some visitors the city I was studying.
For my bachelor, I have been studding in a school located in a small village a way out of a city. Therefore I couldn’t take part in CS.
For my last month in the US, we are planning with Florian (my boyfriend), a road trip on the South-East coast and then, on the West coast. We would like this trip to be not only a sightseeing tour, but the occasion to meet new people to see each place under local eyes.
We are excited to experience our holiday with Couchsurfing!
And will certainly be able, back in France in Paris, to host travelers as well!

Interests

Discovering new places: that can be in my own city or across an Ocean while traveling.
I like wine, good food, cooking time with friends are always great moments! When I’m traveling I always like to try new recipes and bizarre stuff.
I love sport! It’s good for the body& for the mood, and it allowed me to eat more chocolate after! On a daily basis I walk in the nature, go for a run or to the fitness class. And when I can I love to swim windsurfing or snowboarding.
Besides, I can get interested by everything! History, science, languages... I’m just so curious that I never have enough time to read all the books I’d love to.
