Hello ! I’m Elena and I’m an English tutor from Russia. Before my four years in England studying and getting to know the local culture, I worked in a hotel in Dubai for five years—so I’ve experienced both desert heat and drizzly charm!

I love meeting interesting people, wandering around cities with no plan, and dancing to live music (badly but enthusiastically).

I travel for fun, not for Instagram. My ideal trip includes good conversation, local food, and dancing to live music—I absolutely love it!

One of the most amazing things I’ve done is travel to so many places and meet truly remarkable people—each with a story that changed how I see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking to connect with locals—not just see the sights, but learn how you actually live, eat, and complain about the weather.

Plus, I can help with English if you’d like! Think of it as cultural barter: your city tips for my grammar tips.

I’m here to see your city through your eyes—not just the tourist spots, but your favourite bakery, or park, or hidden street that never shows up on maps.

Yeah, Couchsurfing’s changed over the years—but when you find a genuine host , it’s still magic.
