My name is Lena and I am a teacher (ESL and Theology). I enjoy traveling and constantly looking for ways to travel, broaden my experiences and my perspectives 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love that when you couchsurf, you turn into a local instantly instead of seeing everything through the eyes of a tourist. I had the best experiences and gained amazing friends through this community. Also, I am interested in meeting new people and getting an insight into your life and way of thinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many memories to write them out. Here are some of them:

- Arriving in a foreign country (Israel) in March 2020 with a year of travels ahead and being locked down instantly due to Covid.
- Going on a roadtrip in the north of Israel with a random guy from CS that now is one of my closest friends
- Living and working in Mykonos being a Promoter and Animation Crew
- Teaching in a Favela in Rio de Janeiro in Portuguese not speaking a word of Portugese
- Being invited to a Shabbat meal from my AirBnB neighbour in Jerusalem on my birthday
- Swimming in the sea of Galilee in the sunset

But usually what sticks with me are the genuine connections I make with people from other countries and cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you on how to play the guitar :) Also I have a number of tasty vegan recipe. In case you are interested in trying some I'd be happy to cook some. Also I have a lot of dreams and am an idealist. Always a crazy idea how to change the world.
