I have grown up between Madrid, Tenerife, Brussels and Virginia Beach so I am used to be around people from different nationalities and various backgrounds and I absolutely love meeting genuine people as they always leave you being a better self. I am a super easygoing and open minded person.

These past years have been all about minimizing my belongings and letting go of all the clutter in my life to leave space for what matters to me the most. As a result I have fallen in love with running (did my first half marathon Oct 2016), eating healthy and being a bit more mindful. Also I left my corporate job in fashion retail to start my own project: ElenaHG, a youtube chanel that raises awareness about the dark side of the fashion industry and helps provide more ethical and sustainable options. As a Spanish person I love the sun, and this is what I miss the most in cloudy Brussels.

I love family quality time, a glass of wine in good company, outdoor activities, dogs (the bull family), popcorn, a sincere smile, or the smell of good coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After many years traveling with Airbnb, it's not as authentic as it used to be so I thought this would be a great way to learn about other cultures, meet real genuine people!
