I’m Ella — born in Iran, shaped by 6 years in Turkey, and now exploring life in Spain, Alicante .
I love getting lost in new cities, deep talks with strangers who become friends, good food, coffee walks, and cultural stories.

I speak Persian, Turkish, Spanish & English — so we’ll always find a way to connect 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to meet people from different cultures, make real connections, and discover cities through locals — not just as a tourist. I love sharing stories, experiences, and good moments along the way.

Interests

Travel, cultural exchange, dancing (especially salsa) good conversations, coffee walks, cinema nights, podcasts, and discovering hidden spots in every city.

• salsa dancing
• wine
• coffee
• nightlife
• motorcycles
• traveling
• music
• languages
• reggaeton

Music, Movies, and Books

If Latin music is on, I’ll probably end up dancing (especially salsa or bachata). I love going to the cinema or theatre for a good action or romantic drama, and honestly I’m more into podcasts than books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever done is building my life on my own — despite financial struggles — first in Tehran, then Ankara, then Dubai, and now in Alicante, Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

can teach some languages I know and would love to learn yours too.
Happy to share travel stories, deep talks, music, or just cook something together and laugh.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes, stories, language exchange.
