Hey! I'm El, originally from Australia, but I've been fortunate to live and work in different parts of the world. I love spending time with family and friends; surfing; longboarding; climbing; snowboarding; learning; and having new adventures. It's always great to meet new people, so please get in touch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've both surfed and hosted over the years, and absolutely love CS; I've met some of my closest friends through the site. It's the perfect way to connect with interesting people and learn more about the world.
