Half Dominican, half Danish, I was born and raised in French Guiana. I am an outgoing, fun and positive person that enjoys spending time with other people. I am absolutely addicted to traveling, to getting to know new places, new people, to trying new things. I just love the freedom and the peace that exploring the world brings me. As I go backpacking, I sometimes enjoy stopping for few months in some of the countries to have a better idea of what living there is like.
Interested in Animals

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am currently backpacking around the world. My journey consists of going wherever the wind takes me in the hope of finding myself while explore our beautiful planet. I love to meet new people, and to share stories. Getting to know new countries, new cultures, the different kind of nature, the food... well, everything that a new country has to offer is simply fascinating :)
Music, Movies, and Books
There are many good things in this world, how could I ever choose..!? ;) Music: pop-rock, folk, classical, jazz, love the classics English & French.. bachata, forró, samba, ... a bit of everything, really! Books: lately all my book choices have been whatever I could swap at hostels' little library. I really like realism, classicism as literary genres (once again, both English & French). Movies: I am more into series. Let's say that I am a Netflix addict. "Hi, my name is Elayne and I binge watch more than I should"
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Went cage shark diving in South Africa and almost lost some fingers.. the experience was still delinitely worth it haha. Went volcano boarding in Nicaragua, and volcano camping on Acatenango in Guatemala. Breathtaking!
Teach, Learn, Share
If you would like to learn some French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, I would be more than happy to help you :) Also, I really enjoy sharing experiences and adventures from past travels. We could exchange tips on travelling, there could always come in handy during my solo backpacking trips.
My Interests
Anything related to nature and I'm in my element :) Big cities are nice too.. if Mother Earth is not too out of reach.
