Hi there! My name's Elise. I'm a passionate traveller from Wales who is actively chasing her dreams, learning new things about life every day and looking to find like-minded people along the way. I like taking ridiculous leaps to travel on a budget, reading anything fact and fiction, playing ukulele, ancient cameras and watching the stars at night. I've been living in Malta since 2020 and have just finished a half a year stay in The Netherlands. I'm moving to Helsinki soon, too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the perfect way for travelling enthusiasts to get together, make lasting friendships and share their lives. Contributing to this community is really gratifying as it's something I really believe in. I also want to get out of and challenge my comfort zone - always been a bit of an introvert, sometimes to my detriment. :)
