Hi! My name is Elín and I live in Reykjavík Iceland. I Love traveling and getting to know new people from different places. Foodie and a big fan of coffee. I work as a news reporter but when I’m not working I try to travel as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experience on couchsurfing so far has been great and I've met some really cool people. I can only host when my roommate is not home and often my family is in town. I wish I could do it more often but I try the best I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Alt J, Tash Sultana and Billie Eilish just to name a few. Also a fan of French hip hop but „Pure mellow jazz” is probably the most played playlist on my Spotify. Currently reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Basically I have very broad taste in music, literature and movies. You could say I like anything as long as it’s not total crap... Unless I’m in the mood for total crap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had coffee with the president, swam with turtles in Thailand and almost got arrested in Kenya.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some nasty and nice words in Icelandic.
Would like to learn the secrets of your country.
Share funny stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll bring chocolate, help out with house tasks and write you a little poem if I’m feeling creative.
