Well hey! My name is Elle and I'm from Australia. I've been traveling Europe for the past year but back on the Gold Coast where I am originally from.

My travel style is a little different than others. I usually like to stay in one spot for a while to be able to feel the authenticity and culture, to be engulfed in what it would feel like to live there. Couch surfing with a new friend for a few days in between my travels is an incredible opportunity to get to know the area like a local.

I love exploring, camping, getting lost and listening to the stories of the people I meet. I am currently writing a book and wandering around looking for inspiration. I adore being around people who are slightly spiritual (not meaning religious) and agree that there is a whole lot more to life than what it seems. I get along better with people who can laugh at themselves.

I love red wine, when people say thank you when you stop to let them cross the stress/open a door, looking at the stars, laughing till my face cramps, patting other peoples dogs, the feeling of grass under my feet and experiencing moments that I stop and soak it in, taking a mental snap shot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people who are from different cultures, or travellers to who enthral me with their stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite overall author would have to be Paulo Coelho. I love all music; rock when I'm at home cleaning, jazz/classical when I'm in a cosy bar, Indie when I'm feeling emotional or rnb when I'm dancing in the shower feeling like Beyonce.
