Hello! I am Elizabeth (but please call me Elle), a young American/Brit dual citizen travelling the world! I'm 24 years old, university graduate, and seasoned traveler.
Interested in Hiking
Interested in History
Fluent in English
Learning Arabic
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people. When I travel, I seek true, authentic experiences with locals - not guided tour groups. I want to learn your local expressions, your homemade delicacies, the way you view the world, and I want to share mine with you, too. I can't wait to meet you!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music - The King is Dead album by The Decemberists; instrumental; musical theater Movies - period pieces which show unique cultures and beautiful locales around the world Books - The Book Thief; Agatha Christie; Bill Bryson; Jane Austen; Dandelion Wine; Jane Eyre; Catch 22; Man's Search for Meaning; His Dark Materials series; nonfiction about biology, psychology, world history
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Only one?? Well, I pick backpacking through the foothills of the Himalayas when I was sixteen. After trudging, exhausted, for three days straight and gasping with altitude sickness, we finally reached the hotel - and at the top of the viewing platform on a clear day, you could see Mount Everest peeking at you in the distance.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can share MANY BAD JOKES. I can share music - if you know me for any length of time then you'll probably catch me singing to myself, just because I love it. I can share a meditation and yoga session! I can share my stumbling proficiency of French and my very basic Arabic skills. I want to learn more and I love teaching others, too!
