Hey I'm Elle! I'm 20 years old and studying Archaeology at UCLA. Last year I was lucky enough to study in Spain and got to solo-backpack around Italy and Bali for three months during the summer. I will be excavating a castle in Galway, Ireland during June and will be interrailing Europe from July to August. I am so excited to be attending Tomorrowland in Belgium Weekend #2!

I'm really into movies, painting, and jamming on the piano or guitar! Back home in San Diego, I've got two cats and I work as a barista at a local coffeeshop so I can make a killer latte. I'm obviously a big traveler--my favorite city is Paris and my favorite town is Positano on the Amalfi Coast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking to meet some new friends, discover new towns, and experience the various European cultures. From my experience, couchsurfing has given me the perfect opportunity to hang out with cool new people and experience the real lifestyle of the folks living there!
