Hi! My name is Esengyeld Khuandag, but since it's a bit tricky to pronounce, you can call me Elio Khuan. I'm from Mongolia, and I’m currently a university student at the University of Trieste, Italy. I’m an easygoing and open-minded person who loves traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures. I believe the best way to understand a place is through its people, and that's why I love platforms like Couchsurfing.
When I’m not studying or traveling, I enjoy good conversations, trying new foods, and discovering hidden gems in every city I visit. I’m always up for an adventure and love exchanging stories with fellow travelers.

Looking forward to connecting with amazing people around the world!
btw my instagram is @eliokhuan

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because im broke:((( just kidding I’ve always been fascinated by the culture of Couchsurfing—the idea of people from different backgrounds coming together, sharing experiences, and forming genuine connections. I know some say that CS has been losing its original spirit, but I still believe in its core values of hospitality, trust, and cultural exchange.

For me, it’s not just about finding a place to stay—it’s about meeting amazing people, sharing stories, and experiencing places through the eyes of locals. I love the spontaneous adventures and friendships that come from these encounters, and I’m excited to be part of this global community.

音乐、电影和书籍

When it comes to music, I’m a huge fan of jazz, electro, and techno—each genre has its own vibe that I love. Whether it’s the improvisation of jazz, the energy of electro, or the deep rhythms of techno, I’m always up for a great set or a good discussion about music.

In films, my all-time favorite is Dead Poets Society. I also love the surreal and atmospheric works of David Lynch (Blue Velvet) and the visually poetic storytelling of Wong Kar-wai.

For books, I mostly read Charles Bukowski

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

last fall I completely shaved my head and started growing my hair from scratch. It was a bold decision, but it taught me a lot about self-acceptance, change, and confidence. It felt like a fresh start in many ways, and I’m glad I did it
