  • Description

    Hi! My name is Elena and I am currently in my gap year after (Dutch) Highschool. This year I want to broaden my horizon and discover who I am and what I would like to do. As I am a very adventurous person, I feel like traveling and meeting new people and atmospheres is the way to go.

    I have a lot of different hobbies and interests. I love being active and outdoors the most. I have been doing athletics for over 12 years and have been sailing in my free time aswell. I used to own a little sailboat and would love to learn more about boat maintenance. Furthermore, have basic experience with gardening as I occancionally help my mother who works in the field. At last, I really enjoy (making) music, I play the piano and am working on my guitar and ukelele skills. I also love singing (along) but that might not be my strongest suit. :)

    I’m looking for a place to stay for four to six weeks. I’m searching for a group or small community with more travellers. A nice atmosphere and good vibes are a must for me.

    There are a lot of reasons why I’d like to go to Costa Rica. I would love to learn and improve my Spanish. Besides, the nature, beaches and climate really appeal to me. I would love to experience how the days could be.

    In short my name is Elena, I am 18 years old, from the Netherlands and trying to learn Spanish. I love being in nature, don’t mind to get my hands dirty and open to learn new skills. And I would very much like to meet you!
