ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Elijah and I am living in Salta, Argentina. I am from Seattle in the USA but came to Argentina in March as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant. I love speaking Spanish, playing the charango, hanging out with friends, drinking mate, and cooking. I have been able to travel a ton in Argentina, Bolivia, and Perú and love exploring South America.

PHILOSOPHY

Stumble into new experiences. Widen the circle of your family. Cook for your friends.
