Hi everyone! I´m Yelena and I´m Argentinian. I´m 25. I grew up and lived traveling between Rosario, a big city, and Arequito, a small town. In the last few years I was traveling in my country but now I decided to travel further to know the world. I love meeting people in my trips and learning new things. I consider myself curious, sociable and enthusiastic. I´m really interested in learning about other cultures and different lifestyles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join this website because I think it is a different and more interesting way of traveling. When I go to a new city or country I like meeting the local people and knowing about their way of living. It´s a wonderful opportunity to learn.

Interests

My main interest now is travelling!! But there are other things too. I really like arts, I was studying this at university. I also like reading different kind of books and studying everything I found interesting. I enjoy being outdoor, walking or camping in the nature. People say I´m good at cooking and I enjoy doing this. I like being with children and playing with them. In the last few month I started to practice yoga, and I enjoy it a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 80s music, I really enjoy it. I´m also learning to dance salsa and bachata. I love latin music. It´s warm.

Films... I love Harry Potter (yes, yes, yes) and I think Pixar´s movies are fantastic :D.
Apart of this I enjoy every film that make you feel and think about the life and your things.

With the books is more or less the same, I think a book is like a trip, you must be different after it. If not, it isn´t a good book. Now I´m reading "Mujeres que corren con los lobos" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes and other about Zen´s teaching. My partner is sharing with me a book called "Light on Yoga" by B.K.S. Iyengar. With this last book I help myself in my yoga practice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the whole life is incredible... every moment you live.

Teach, Learn, Share

With this website you are always learning, teaching and sharing because you are meeting new people all the time. It´s fantastic how much you can learn in a couple of days living with someone you didn´t know before. I don´t know if I can teach you something (maybe Spanish or maths) but I can share my lifestyle and all what I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well... I think I can cook and I don´t mind cooperating with the things in the house. I can tell you about my trips in Argentina, and I can let you know how is the life there. I enjoy a lot being sitting and chatting.
