Thank you so much for visiting my profile!😌

I’m Elmira (or just Ella) who used to live in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, but won a scholarship for 1 academic year and moved to the US! 🇺🇸
I’m studying at WLU, WV right now and going to stay here till May 2020! (Would be happy to see you here, by the way!)

Languages, cross-cultural communication, and travelling are my PASSIONS! My major is Teaching of foreign language and I love it, but I’m interested in any aspect of human being!

I also do like meeting new PEOPLE and consider them to be the source of my inspiration. I have always been talkative, easy-going and sociable, and for that reason I VOLUNTEERed quite a lot: I was a group-leader of Russian delegation in international camp in Russia (kinda proud of it 😂), was blessed to be a volunteer in my hometown during WORLD CUP 2018 (I was standing on the field the same time Messi did, I’m not kidding 😂), and I volunteered here in America as well (helped to give away clothes for children from poor families in Wheeling, WV)

I’m interested in people from ALL OVER THE WORLD and would be happy to share my knowledge and personal experience of travelling or living in my home country!

P.S. I don’t have too many references but I was hosted here in the US for several times and I hosted some people in Russia as well!

I am a reliable “couchserfer”, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask! I would be happy to answer all of those!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve always been dreaming about travelling and I’ve never had enough money to do that. You can imagine how happy I was when I got the scholarship!

And what I really want to do is to explore our planet, meet up, get and share experiences!
I’ve always wanted to travel all over the world and I decided to start from the US. I’m blessed to be here and hope to see as much as possible before leaving, because America is beautiful and its nature is amazing!
