Elena, 25, y.o, solo traveler and a freelancer 🙋🌏
Couchsurfing is NOT Tinder (I'm very sorry I have to highlight it like this, but some people here still do not get it :c )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel solo quite often (not as often as I would like to, tho :) and I see Couchsurfing as a great opportunity to share my travel experiences & memories with others.
I've been freelancing for the last 1,5 years, which I find myself very lucky to do, as it gives me a possibility to combine traveling with daily work and spares from the burden of sitting in the office from 9 to 5.
As for the moment, I'm heading to South America for the very first time and getting myself ready to dive into a totally different environment!

Interests

My major interests are contemporary art, psychology, wellness, techno / electronic music, healthy eating, sociology and culture- however, this is just a tip of an iceberg to give you an idea of what I am into. I also practice ceramics and yoga when I have time and possibility.
I am vegetarian and would love to give (and GET, please!) a good advice on where to it the best vegetarian meals in my city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On 11 September, 2015 I've started my 6 months-long trip to Asia from my home city. That happen to be an amazing experience, - no fancy hotels, no "business class" seats, but instead connecting with local life, people, culture & nature. During this trip I covered eight states including Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Yet, this half-of-year definitely was not enough for me and I am looking forward to coming back to Asia for new experiences.
