Hi! My name is Elsa. I'm an Eurasian, half Japanese, half french but I've grown up in France, Paris. Currently, I am working in Manila in Cultural Diplomacy.

I love to travel to new places, obviously it's one of the reason why I'm on couchsurfing, but I also love to meet new people. I think everyone has a story to share. Listening to other people's opinions and learning about different cultures are rewarding. (I'm ENFP but I love to listen more than to talk. )

I'm pretty polyvalent, I love to go out and dance, step out of my comfort zone but I can also really enjoy a chill night like diner or drinks!
I am really reliable and respectful.

One of my passion is music. I've been playing violin since I was 5 and I also played some piano. I also have been doing jazz dance since I was 6 and did some classical dance. I love all sorts of dances and really love sports like rock climbing, handstands, gymnastics...
Most of the time I travel with my girl best-friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel as much as I can and enjoy life! Encounter new people and see beautiful places. I love nature as much a I love an urban environment. I think the world is beautiful and this community gives the opportunity to see random things, meet amazing people, create bonds, make memories and grow as an individual!
