hi i'm Elena, im 28 and i come from Spain. I've been working in retail for over 10 years and now i'm taking some time off to clear my head and try new things.

I want to become a fashion and travel blogger. to show the different ways in which fashion affects women's lifes around the world. the trends. the traditions.

show that common ground that all women around the globe, regardless their culture, religion, age and family share: we like to feel beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i'd love to say that that i'm here because i've always been into hosting people and staying and random people's places but it's not true so far haha. actually 2 months ago i knew nothing about cs. i'm here because my boyfriend swears he's had some of the best experiences of his life on cs, met tons of new people and discovered countries in a way a tourist could never do. and heck, that does sound good!! so i'm trusting him and getting out of my comfort zone. Embrace life. be adventurous.

so hey, i'm a newbie in this whole backpacking couchsurfing thing, but mom taught me to be polite and respectful so i think i'll adapt myself well to cs!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave a soul crushing job to travel the world and embrace the possibilties of not accepting fear as a rule.

Teach, Learn, Share

i love to learn about the traditions of the places i go to. everything from day to day activities to rituals and festivals to dressing code to cuisine... i am very curious so expect a child-like questioning of "oh wow what is that and why is that man wearing that and why do monks do this and that?" that i really hope you don't mind! :D
