Hi!
I am Ella and I am a slow nomad! Each time I live in a different country following a job contract and then I backpack :)

Originally from Israel, my first travel was to south east Asia: Nepal, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. I then moved to Amsterdam where I lived for 3.5 years, in between visiting and traveling in Belgium, Bulgaria, France and Switzerland.

Then I followed two internship placements in Fort Worth and Austin in Texas. During the internship I was backpacking in national parks in Colorado and Texas and was couchsurfing in New York City. Unfortunately I can’t find my CS profile from that time! :(
After the internships, I crossed the US from Texas to California, sleeping in a tent or in the car… took about a month.

I then got a job in Hamburg for a bit more then a year, and here I am again- finding myself adventuring in another side of the world. I am currently staying with a friend in Mexico city but then I go to Peru for 1.5 months and then the plan is Bolivia, Chile and Argentina... However I'm flexible and plans can change as usual 🙂

I am looking for people who are interested in making connection. I am well traveled and have friends from all over the world and would be super happy to make some more! I love to get to know interesting individuals and experience the world from the eyes of others. I do not look for a tour guide but for a person who can show me what they like to do in the day to day and let me join them. However, the freedom to hang out with myself is important to me, as I can get easily overwhelmed with new information when arriving to a new place.

Since connection is important, I'd like to express that I think that the people that would fit best are basically hippies, very open minded, LGBTQIA friendly, experimental as a way of living and nature loving. I can be also a party person but that's going to be rare for this period of traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Would like to find hiking partners and locals to hang out with in South America
