Hi! My name is Eli. I’m originally from Russia, but have been living in Sweden for a long time now. Traveling has always been my biggest passion. I’ve lived in Spain for a long time and had a chance to experience Spanish culture a lot. I also lived and worked in France for a while. This summer I will spend in Italy and in autumn I’m moving to Portugal. As for now, I live and study Master’s in Gothenburg, Sweden and trying to travel when I have time. Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I wanna find new interesting people, learn their culture. Traveling without meeting locals is pointless 🙃
I also feel a bit lost in life rn (as we all do I guess), so travelling helps me learn more about myself

Music, Movies, and Books

Can listen to every kind of music, but my all time favourite is Linkin Park ❤️, and my #1 on Spotify top list this year is Hans Zimmer :)

There are multiple movies that had a significant impact on me, including: 3 idiots, Good Will Hunting, The Way.

Regarding the books, I like reading everything from classics to self development, but if I had to pick 1 book it would be The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb that affected me the most lately.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
