My name is Nelya, but you can call me Nelly. Im a simple gal who loves the sun on her skin, Earth under my toes, and laughs in my belly. I consider myself spontaneous and laidback, creating a perfect combination for open minded travel. I like to have a good time with others, but I’m also self sufficient in my own travel- meaning I enjoy going places solo just as much as if I were to have company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience the world and the people who live in it. I’ve had many pleasant experiences meeting new people and getting to know different cultures. I absolutely love exchanging interests and understanding other people, especially from two different world views.

Interests

I enjoy life and I enjoy people. I try not to think too much about what I am going to do, rather than just going with the flow. I enjoy nature and hiking, mostly, but I don’t mind going to places with whichever company I’m with.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a psychological thriller type of girl most of the time. I enjoy books like Crime and punishment, the Giver, Fire and Ice series, and hey lets just throw in Ecclesiastics. My music tastes tend to go back and forth very often. One day I’ll be listening to ambient chill and the next I’ll listen to some heavy rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping through the midnight sun in the middle of a fjord, kayaking near the Julian alps, hiking up a Volcano, glacier hiking to ice caves. So much more to list, let’s chat about it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mostly laughter, but my humor isn’t for everyone so maybe not. If that doesn’t suffice, I can bake a mean cake.
