Hi, I'm Elli, born in 1995 and doing my Masters in Sustainable Tourism. I'm currently doing the research for my Master Thesis in South Africa. Together with a local NGO, I'm trying to assess how its community-based tourism concept can be a catalyst for sustainable development of local communities. I'm based in Durban from February to July 2020 and happy to meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'" (Daniel J. Boorstin)
