CURRENTLY TRAVELING IN COSTA RICA

I'm Lena , full-time traveller from Russia. I've visited 46 countries until now. I traveled South America for 2 years, where i lived in the jungle with indigenous people and hunt crocodiles with them, climbed 6100 m mountains and swam across the ice-cold river in Chilean Antarctic:) This kind of adventures I enjoy a lot.
Now I travel with my husband Paul. We met in Colombia three years ago, and since then we live on the road together. We both work online. Paul is a programmer; he also makes music, loves snowboarding and other sports. I am a writer, freelancer. I am doing my first steps in rock climbing and mountaineering.

We love hiking, camping in the mountains, learning something new about the world and ourselves. I think, meeting people is the most valuable part of traveling. My mind expanded so much since i left home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel to learn about people, to exchange ideas and to get new perspective on the world.

Interests

Mountains, hiking, camping, rock climbing. I am more outdoors/cold weather person, not a beach/summer/party girl.

Currently writing a book about strange foods all over the world. Always looking for a crazy food to try.

I love indigenous people.
