Hey there fellow travelers and kindred spirits!

I'm Ellena, a wanderlust-driven enthusiast always on the lookout for new experiences and connections. With a passion for exploring diverse cultures and meeting fascinating individuals from walks of life, CouchSurfing has become my go-to platform for enriching my journeys with authentic local experiences.

A bit about me: I work in a NGO that takes me to different corners of Indonesia and it's the thrill of discovering new cultures and forging connections that truly drives me.

At the moment, my transient lifestyle means I'm unable to offer a permanent spot on my couch. However, I'm eagerly looking forward to the day when i can settle down and open my home to fellow travelers, offering a warm welcome and insider's guide to my city.

In the meantime, I'm always up for meeting new friends, sharing stories, and exploring the world together. Whether it's grabbing a coffee, joining a local event, or simply swapping travel tips, I'm here to make the most of every moment and connection.

So don't hesitate to reach out! Let's make the most of our travels and create memories to last a lifetime. Can't wait to embark on this adventure together!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on CouchSurfing because I believe that traveling is more than just seeing new places- it's about immersing oneself in different cultures, forging connections with locals, and experiencing life from a new perspective. CouchSurfing offers a unique opportunity to do just that by connecting travelers with hosts who generously open their homes and hearts to guests from around the world. For me, CouchSurfing isnt only a way to saveoney on accommodations but also a platform for cultural exchange, genuine human connections, and unforgettable experiences. It allows me to meet people I wouldn't otherwise encounter, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Música, películas y libros

When I'm not out and about, you can usually find me diving into fiction novels—my all-time favorite is Tere Liye's. As for music, well, let's just say my taste is an acquired one! I used to be a huge One Direction fan (yes, really!), and even though my playlist might raise a few eyebrows, it always keeps me in a good mood. Looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers and sharing stories!

Algo increíble que he hecho

One of the most profound experiences etched into my memory happened during my travels in Papua, where I visited Kali Klaogin. While exploring the breathtaking beauty of Klaogin, our boat unexpectedly capsized, throwing all of the passengers into the water. Some of them couldn't swim, and for a terrifying moment, we all thought we might not make it out alive. I almost drowned, a stark reminder of the unpredictable forces of nature. However, from that moment, I emerged with a renewed appreciation for life and a deep respect for the environments I explore.
