About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn and grow from new experiences, travelling the world, and to make art and be inspired by amazing people and places

ABOUT ME

http://www.elivalkonigol.com

An artist/photographer from Melbourne. I lived in London for 2 1/2 years and had the best time ever.

More a city-dweller than the touristy/outdoorsy type, and have no interest in visiting buckingham palace or big ben. i feel at home hanging out having a drink at a bar, going to a gig, or seeking out free booze at art gallery openings. so if this sounds like you then we will get along.

PHILOSOPHY

empathy compassion honesty and self-awareness

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to meet new creative people and hear your stories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone that ive met from CouchSurfing have been scarily awesome. ive have had no bad experiences, and everyone who has hosted me has totally enriched my experience of the city.

In Amsterdam we were taken to the best bars in the city with an awesome multi-lingual photographer. In Berlin i hung out with a sweet Canadian and got drunk at the Winerei. In Paris we were hosted in a welcoming home with an evil cat that sliced my arms with its claws. I discovered that the coolest most amazing and generous people in the world are in Reykjavik.

In the beginning of the year i spent a month couchsurfing across Europe which was the best trip of my life. I'm so grateful to the people who hosted me and showed me how they lived their lives in their amazing cities. Hopefully i've made lasting friendships that will stretch across the oceans.
