Hello everyone! Всем привет! Hallo Freunde der Sonne! Hola a todxs! I'm Elvira Schlegel, a first-time couchsurfer living in San José with three other amazing girls. The fact that I have the opportunity to be living in San José is exciting!

A little about me: I am 18 years old, finished high school in Germany, and am currently volunteering in Costa Rica! I was born in Russia, and therefore, I speak three languages (well, kinda four; my Spanish is improving every day).

I have countless hobbies! The most recent ones include reading, kicking butt (jk) in chess, dancing, and playing on my ukulele :)

Since birth, I have been vegetarian, and over the years, I simply stopped eating dairy products (I don't like them haha).

I would describe myself as an open-minded and kind-hearted person (as long as I get enough sleep and food). Currently on the quest to be my best self by writing in my journal and building up good habits.

While traveling with my brother in México in December, he introduced me to Couchsurfing. I immediately loved the concept and decided to download the app. I will never forget the Couchsurfing experiences in México (shoutout to Aalan and Eri for being my first hosts 🤗🩷).

As I dive into this new chapter of exploration, I'm thrilled to connect with kindred spirits, share stories, and engage in fun activities. I'm not just on the lookout for unique experiences as a guest – I'm absolutely pumped to throw open the doors for some of you guys.

Whether you're a seasoned Couchsurfing enthusiast or a first-timer like me, let's make every interaction a celebration of diversity and friendship. Excited to connect and create lasting memories 💫

Hasta luego!
