Hello! My name is Elise, and I am so excited to explore this world with such enthusiasm and freedom. I am in the process of opening my own bakery, so I love exploring all the cafes and pastry shops around the world, to see how they are run and what kind of recipes they like to make! I love art in every form, but especially photography and paintings. I love every kind of chocolate known to man, so I'm on a hunt for the best chocolate in the world.

So excited to see all the beautiful like crevices of this world! Hope I get to meet you along the way!

Thank you for reading all of this!

(Also, I use a lot of exclamation points when I talk.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts about traveling this world is the people I meet along the way. Traveling and exploring are wonderful, but it's so much more beautiful when you can experience it with someone else. Which is why I love this idea of CouchSurfing! Hostels are great, but you don't really get to experience the culture the same way you could if you stayed with a real native of the city, eating their favorite food and going to their favorite places.
