Hi guys, my name is Ella and I'm from New Zealand.

I was working a 9-5 job but have decided that the office life is not for me and that the world is calling. So here I am.

I love being outdoors, show me a mountain and I'll be there. Stars, the beach, desert or jungle and I'm keen to explore.
I also prefer checking out local cultures and favourite local hang outs rather than huge touristy places.
I LOVE food and will never say no to a good glass of wine (or five).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My plan is to travel the world - but to me, real travel involves meeting the local people, learning about their culture, finding the hidden gems and trying authentic food.

Most of all, I'm here to make new friends to connect with other wild, wonderful and amazing people across the world and then host you all when I return home :)

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Russia and Israel as a kid and climbed a couple of mountains in New Zealand; Mt Tongariro and Mt Taranaki.

I hope to add many, many more things to this list!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me anything and everything! I'm here to expand my mind.

I can teach you English, a bit of Russian, some basic gymnastics skills or social media, communications and marketing best practice :)
