Hi! My name is Ellie and I'm 21 years old. I come from Czech Republic but I am living and studying Photography in England. I just came back form South America after a year and I'm about to travel Europe this summer. I will be back in England (Portsmouth) in September.
In August I'll be hitchhiking around Europe. With my friend we are doing this race called X-Challenge which is all about traveling for 10 days without spending any money and completing crazy challenges every day.
My biggest passion is traveling and exploring new places and cultures. I love adventure, sports, outdoor activities and photography and writing.
I love to document my journey with photography and travel writing. If you want to know more about me, you can check my portfolio and website: https://elliesvrlanska.squarespace.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and I think that this app is perfect because you can meet a lot of interesting and like minded people and share a lot of experience with them.

Interests

I can play guittar. I'm dancing since I was 6. I started with contemporary, ballet and gymnastic. Later I tried flamenco, couple dances, zumba, aerobic and now I'm doing street dance and dancehall. I'm also member in one small theatre.

Music, Movies, and Books

I think that this is going to be a long list because I am a huge fan of all these things.
Lets start with the music. The best singer ever for me is Michael Jackson!! I was listening to his music with my mom since I was really young. Now I also love old rock bands like AC DC, Rolling Stones, Queen or Aerosmith. Moreover, I am a dancer so I am into dance music as well (lately I love salsa and bachata).
I would say that Purple rain is one of my favorites especially because I love Prince and his music.
I enjoy reading. Even though I am traveling just with a backpack and I'm trying to be minimalistic, I always have 2 or 3 books with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a one-way ticket to South America with the plan to volunteer, travel slowly, hitchhike and explore the countries and cultures.
