Hey there! I’m Elshad, a 27-year-old traveler and culture enthusiast from Baku. I lived in Indonesia for three years, which was an amazing experience, and I even learned to speak Indonesian fluently. I currently work in corporate sales, so I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging ideas.

When I travel, I love immersing myself in local life rather than just ticking off tourist attractions. Street food, spontaneous conversations, and discovering hidden gems excite me the most!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is more than just a place to stay—it’s about cultural exchange and genuine human connections. I love hearing people’s stories, learning about their traditions, and sharing my own experiences. Staying with locals makes travel more meaningful, and I’d love to give back by sharing what I know about Azerbaijan and the other places I’ve lived.
