YEAHLENA

Jelena is generous with attentive sweetness and positively open-minded. She brought my partying to a new level through an introduction to fishnets, fur and shiny costumes - which prepped me really well for Burning Man. What a cool girl!!!

Jelena is a very sweet and caring girl. She is a lot of fun to party with, but also good to have very deep discussions with. Hope to meet you again somewhere, whether that will be in Europe or in SF remains to be seen ;)

Really cool girl! It was very interesting for me to listen to all her great travel stories!! Hope to meet you again soon, take care of yourself!

We met at the Paella 2008 and had some interesting chats about travel addiction and its good and bad points (no bad points) ;] Jelena is so nice and outgoing. She is the kind of person you always want to have around :)
I hope you will finally take your trip to central and eastern Europe and you're of course very welcome to Poland!

We first met at the Paella 2007 and then reunited at the Paella 2008 in the Swiss countryside. Jelena is fun, fun loving, active, activating, inspired, inspiring and we enjoyed hanging out with her a lot.

As we've never been to Zürich and she has never been to Vienna I guess we'll either meet in one of those cities or latest at the Paella 2009 :o)

I met Jelena when we visited the folks at the Thailand Couchsurfing collective in March 2008 - What a sweet-heart! She is kind and out-going and a ton of fun. Fantastic to meet you Jelena!!

Has been a pleasure meet helena. We shared little time and talk but we had good feeling, I guess. Sometimes don't need many bla bla to get in good connection. Good luck girl

I see Yelena whenever there is a crazy party in the works or happening all around.. awesome!

Jelena, is really positive and helpful person, we met and had too much fun in the beautiful Zurich, hope to help her one day in Cairo as she did......

Jelena was practically the very first person I met from the collective when I arrived in Pai and the very last I saw when I left. It's funny how everyone on here has said how sweet she is (which she most certainly is) But what I noticed most was how unbelievably wise and worldly she was - she would talk about things most people take several life times to figure out and was always studying and learning new skills. I probably didn't spend as much time talking to Jelena as I should have - mostly because it was so interesting to simply sit back and listen.

"Help! I don't recognize anybody here" were about the first words of Jelena that passed on to me through Dule's phone. Does it matter? Sure not for her! A very funny, easy going girl with a LOT of good stories from heart. Definitely do discover the fun crazy girl in her! I know I should. =D Welcome back to Zürich! Hope you stay around a bit :)

I think the term "as sweet as pie" was created purely to describe this amazing girl! I had the joy of getting to know Jelena during the Thai Collective and she fast became someone I loved chilling out with on a very regular basis. She has the softest, kindest nature I have come across – she has a way about her that makes you immediately feel comfortable and at ease. I hope we have many more opportunities as our lives go on to continue the connection that has started – I adore you Jelena!

She's sugar and spice and all things nice...stunningly beautiful inside and out, smart, funny and worldly. You couldn't find a better host or surfer. She's a tremendous cook, and when you're sharing stories she'll make you feel like you're the most important person in the room. I can't wait until the day she surfs my couch in Wisconsin!

Stayed in a house that had a fur explosion in the living room and sorted out BM costumes. Quite a fun furry experience. She is very welcoming and open, sincere and smiling. Also ran into her at the airport...were on the same flight and didn't know!

This beautiful lady rescued us in Pai when all things looked grim. Her warmth drew us right in, and she made every effort to make sure we were all situated with a place to rest. After meeting her again in Vang Vieng, we realized for certain: She is a fantastic, caring spirit and we feel blessed to have met her. We hope to see you again soon!

jelena almost saved us in granada, she is a really outgoing and warm hearted girl ... i hope i will see her again

Jelena enjoys sparkley clothes. I enjoy sparkley clothes, enough said. I am coming to Pai to visit this weekend. Be there.

Jelena is a really great girl and so generous (do you remember when my credit card was locked???).Good time and beautiful memories with her.Come in Paris!

She is this super sweet petite fairy with bright big blue eyes, who makes you feel happy and comfortable right away. I think she has a secret magic wand hidden somewhere, cause when she smiles and gives you some devoted attention, she's enlighting the room. I love her :-)

Jelena always seems to have the inside scoop on what's going on - diving right in and getting to know new people from every age and background. She's daring and seeking, constantly striving to learn. Quite inspiring, that lil miss bunny ears :o)

Where to begin - she's brave, boundlessly energetic, socially-adept and beautiful to boot! Plus, she loans out her adorable wardrobe to needy burners (I won't name names) on their way to a wedding! The girl ROCKS!

Her infectious enthusiasm rubs on to you. Having worked in a bookstore, she is very open-minded and has plenty of things to talk about. She has convinced me to go to Zurich if only to check out the amazing "5 star" squat.

we had fun at the rooftop bar dancing =) hope to see you again!

Jelana is charming and friendly and fun and an amazing dancer and entirely beautiful... and then she's totally deep and smart and cuddly. The entire city of San Francisco sang "Hallelujah, Jelana is here so the party can really begin!!" She's lovely and amazing!

Jelena is an active and smart girl. she helped me arranging the meeting in Chiangmai which was cool. She love dancing and enjoying party. It was very nice to meet you, Jelena. Hope you can find a good massage teacher and have a good time in Thailand. =)

Jelena is a lider girl..... inteligent and cool. she is always in action. helpful and simpa

Jelena was at the Nelson Collective and came wandering and source jumping and marae visiting and I hope she had a fine summer Down Under here... Hope you keeping well babe!

She and casey picked me up at the airport in Nelson and immediately made me feel welcomed - we spent time together doing a variety of things like shop to feed the hungry CSers, cut up photos to build a beautiful collage, dance around the fire on the beach in Kahurangi, and share a bottle of wine while pondering the mysteries of the universe - hope our paths cross again jelena!

Jelena seems like a really lovely, warm hearted and creative girl. The only reason I haven't put extremely positive is that we didn't get to spend enough time together to really get to know each other: We spent most of time cycling at full speed around the playa! Her friends speak so highly of her and I really hope we get to meet up again as I am sure we would get along fabulously!!

...finally we decided to confirm our friendship officially - although we feel connected throughout the whole world. but which words to choose for our friendship?
i think wherever we meet, we are surprised by each other...
jelena is a proof that its always worth to look behind the image - she is "cute AND irresistible" - inside and out!
ei brutal feifuehlige und g'reifte frou. schoe, dass'd i mi leba bisch ;)

I fell in love with Jelena as soon as I met her. I'm sure I'm not the first.
She's warm, very considerate, very real, and very fun. Jelena has such a young heart, yet such a very old soul. Nothing's hidden...just pure goodness and pure Goddess :)

I had a lovely time with Jelena at the Nelson collective. We took many silly photos and drank lots of wine. She makes fluffy pink hats look sexy! Hope to see her again one day.

... Aug 2007. I posted in the NYC group looking for people to meet up for drinks. I was so happy to see Jelena walk in the restaurant. It was lovely to catch up with her. She is pure delight!

Jelena is proof that angels walk the earth and that they are wonderful creatures who party play and make the world a better place. I am so glad i know you. big kindness kiss back to you

I never really leave a reference for someone that I've just met, but Jelena was just too cool not to :-) We spoke briefly on the phone by accident and I nearly hosted her and didn't. I was fortunate enough to meet her out at Revival though and got to talk with her. I'm sure we'll run into each other more in the future in our random travels :-)

I met Jelena my very first time doing a CS meet-up where we had a lovely lunch with fellow CSers and then spent the afternoon exploring Brooklyn. We share a fondness for exploring new places and beautiful shoes (danger!). Jelena gives this organization its good name!

She's just so fun, easy-going and very warm-hearted, it's very relaxing after an overdose of swiss mentality people. Her good mood is really contagious, I'll garantue you a really good time full of laughter when you'll host/or be guest with her. Think'll see you soon in Zurich, perhabs Berne?
The evening out was also too good, she really knows how to party.

Jelena is a ray of light in anyone's life. Free as a bird, yet devoted, compassionate, friendly, endearing, and an extremely helpful guest. Whiskey and peanuts will bring you back to Dublin I hope. A top friend! Hope to see you around soon...

We first met at a picnic in Zurich and then she joined the CouchSurfing Paella 2007 at my place. Very friendly, funny and completely trustworthy!

we had some freaky days together in the city!!!! glad that i met her

Jelena is a girl full of energy with a nice smile everytime on her face. We have hated togheter our bags during the crazy evening around Zurigo's streets, no way to dance with a bag on shoulders.
I hope we will meet again in Paella's day by Peiro.

Jelena lights up a room when she enters. She has a fun and exhuberent zest for life. She is helpful and caring and kind and a Goddess of light. Along with my other Goddess niecey Hillary (and the rest of the family) we had a fabulous time together in our little home on the hill cooking, drinking wine, laughing and watching the textures in the clouds and the sun go down... I truly love this girl. Jelena will only enhance your journey....

I only met her once for a party, but I had great time speaking about life, parties, travels :)

Jelena...well as i told her she is my partygirl. She belongs to the type of people i really like. She is full of life, energetic and ready to have fun all the time and take part in any funny things...

Fun fun fun! Yeah, that about describes Jelena. She is full of energy, very outgoing, happy person, it's hard not to get along with her and not have a great time. We met at the CS BBQ but then continued partying, dancing, drinking on the streets of Zurich for the following two nights, it didn't matter how tired or wet from the rain we were. It's been great, hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic girl, full of energy and funny! She's a blast, and she has mercy of me, offering her couch when I (for 2 hours) lost my host! Great impression, nice to meet you and see you soon!

Very cool person, kind of you like to meet when you are travelling and even when you are not. We shared some discussion about travelling, people and life in general. It was really cool, hope to meet you again my friend in Mars or in Switzerland.

Jelena is such a cool person and I'm so glad to have had the chance to live with her after the collective was over. She's awesome for going out, chillin' at home with a few drinks, serious chats, amazing adventures, great cook.... and much more !!! All of these things in one little person makes for an amazing time where ever she is. Hope to meet up with you again soon :D

I love the way that Jelena will willingly talk with anyone, shes generous, genuine & has an open heart. Fantastic to party or chill with & she gave me some lush hugs!

Something tell the clowns in the sky that our paths will cross again... And the clowns never lie. They could see a beautiful thoughtful person from the sky searching for dreams and freedom and thoughts and love and circles that the clouds make that look like elephants and the unknown and the known and the sub consious and the Heartbeat of life... Ba boom ba boom ba boom... Every body dance to our own happy dance!!!!!

well... that's the only thing that crossed my mind. hope you ll notice you re the only one for who i wrote such a reference on CS (wink wink)

Every time we embrace,
I go to that far away place
When we just walk hand in hand.
I’m in new, New Zealand.

Whenever I look into your eyes,
I begin to get butterflies,
Then my heart skips a beat,
And our lips passionately meet.

You are always on my mind,
Your face is all it can find.
I think about you every day
And know we’ll meet again somehow, some way.

Some say we’re dumb and foolish
Some say we should do as we wish
But all my heart could ever do
Is tell you that I’fucking LOVE Ya!

Quiche

Jelena dazzles you with her smile and those bright eyes. Its hard not to fall under her spell. Luckily she only uses her powers for good because she has a huge heart. I'm looking forward to our next visit in some exotic part of the world!

I shared the most I ever shared with her, The magic mystic of wondering words. Jelena is here to make the world happy again.

Jelena is all heart....a warm, big dazzling smile was my first impression which son changed to a deep and warm hearted girl who is caring , compassionate, fun and loyal...oh yes and quite the energetic and crazy dance gal :)..She is definitely the kind of person I am happy to have as a friend and enjoyed our times just hanging out so much...She is a wonderful person with a heart of gold.I hope to see her soon in Europe
xoxo

A true friend, with a big sence of humor, when you wanna enjoy live you can really do it with her.

Jelena is awesome. Sweet, fun, enegetic, always wanting to meet new people and try new things! San Francisco won't be the same without her.

Jelena is a friendly, cheerful person, and a great ambassador for couchsurfing.

Jelena is super cool. She and Hillary welcomed me to their home post CSC and went to great lengths to make sure that i was comfortable and at ease. Laid-back and a curious cat who knows how to ask the right questions :) it wasn't until almost the end of my stay that we really talked - but i blame that on my quietness which can be quite muting :D
Thank you Jelena....and my couch in Malaysia will always have your name on it :)

Jelena is bubbly & soulful at the same time. I loved having the opportunity to get to know her as well as I did. She has wisdom beyond her years AND she can be clumsy, which I love. I hope we meet up again. She's a fabulous human.

Jelena's got a great hat, and she dishes out some awesome hugs! Welcome on my couch any time.

Whenever Jelena is around, so are Mr. Fun, Mr. and Mrs. Laughter. She's deep with plenty of ideas and thoughts about life that will leave you in awe.

A nice, fun and beautiful person, her english accent is also funny ;)

Jelena is love and happiness and gentleness personified - someone who really knows how to live 'in the now'. No one can resist her charms.

Dont let her appearance fool ya, Jelena is a huge bookworm with a whole lot of ideas and realizations plans waiting to be hatched. She's read and experienced so much, as soon as she can make a choice on what she wants to do, the world will be a way better place. Sure to brighten up any get-together, anywhere, anytime

Jelena has so much fun all the time. She cannot stop herself from dancing whereever she may be. She always has a big smile for you too. How many people have decided to come to Burning Man 48 hours after learning about it and fresh off a plain from Europe? Now that I've known her for a few months, I can say she has one of the biggest hearts I have ever known.

we met at the csc in nelson, great person like the rest of the bunch ;).
all the best malte

Always good to see you Jelena, you bring sunshine to peoples lives.

Jelena is amazing! I am actually having withdrawls! Peaceful and full of endless fun....Jelena WHERE are you?!

When I first met Jelena, I thought she was Hillary's twin sister, very confusing. As I have gotten to know her better, I have learned that she is a very thoughtful person who knows how to keep life going as a sweet adventure. Plus, she really knows how to party and have fun. Everyone could gain something from her spirit and experience.

My sister. I have so much regard for you as a person. Someone who can make friendships that can transcend normal human interactions. We have to meet again, but i think when we do we will be pinching ourselves, laughing and having the best of times again.

Beautiful, fun and sweet...she totally rocks! My Vodka partner in crime :-))) Hope I keep seeing you around...it was great to party together again!

Jelena is a greater Swiss treasure than you'll find in any of the vaults of the banks in Zurich. Sweeter and more delicious than any Swiss chocolate, she seems to have boundless enthusiasm for life. If you get the chance to hang out with her, do it!

She is one of the sweetest, cutest, funniest couchersufers I ever met. And what to say about her delicious caipiroskas... I want more!

Really cool girl, nice and easy to talk to :)

Jelena is a fun happy beautiful girl. We went to the Love Janis musical together and had a great time. Hope to meet again somewhere in the world!

This girl rocks! Easy-going, sweet and sexy - glad I met her!

Met Jelena during my stay in SF in Jay's Flat.

My life has definetly changed since the day we met. She is a amazing spirit that helped me to feel at home, even when both of us don't have one.

She is a very nice girl, she was at my home to take a lunch with anothers guys and everybody like her, went out aroud a lot of place together!!!!! Jalena you must to know that I'll never forget you!!!!!!! :)

Jelena.
Conheci essa garota quando fui assistir uma partida de futebol da copa do mundo no Pelourinho, Salvador-Bahia. Ela é uma pessoa maravilhosa e que merece todo o meu carinho. Pena que foi pouco tempo, mas valeu a pena!!
Beijos minha querida!!
Lucy
