hey it’s Elya !
I've just finished a part of my studies and decided to make a world tour. I'm very curious to learn, explore and experience many different moment, places and people.
I'm an artist and love to draw, sew, paint, make clothes (I have my own little brand !) and lot more ! I'm also very passionated about photography, I like to shoot with old cameras, 35mm and also digital !

Life’s short but so rich, so deep, so vast ! We have so much to live, discover and share. Ego just makes people alienated from life, the others are so important. I live for the others. Sharing love, passion and moments is just that much fulfilling that being "against" some people doesn’t have sense anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 weeks in Senegal for a humanitarian trip. Spent a lot of time with children, caring. harvesting and manual work sleeping to help a small village. Slept with 10 persons in a small class room and ate the same food everyday. I realised how much sharing is important even more than before.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love exchanging about our knowledge, skills and also just vision of life.
I'm totally open to learn and discover a part of you and your universe. While I can share mindful conversations, some art skills, make pictures of you or anything else !

What I Can Share with Hosts

My only goal would be to exchange the most of myself, while experiencing an authentic moment.
