Hi there! My name is Elle. I'm a 26 year old adventurer, originally from New York, but currently residing in California (USA). My greatest passion in life is to travel the world to soak up as much nature, culture, and rewarding experiences as I possibly can. If I could dedicate my entire life to traveling full-time, I would do it in a heartbeat! As a result, I have decided to quit my job and will be traveling solo in order to reset my mind and body. Previous to embarking on my travels, I worked as a Product Manager in the Technology and Marketing sector.

Some of my hobbies include hiking, photography, running, working out, and reading. Overall, I'm an organized, responsible, and tidy person (ideal qualities for any host!). I promise to be an entertaining guest!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Marvel, Sci-fi, Fantasy. Basically, anything that can't ever be real except in our imaginations. Real life can be so boring sometimes!
Books: I've been really into personal growth/development books-- regardless of how old you are or where you come from, there's always more to be learned and always more ways to improve oneself.
Music: I can get down to anything! EDM (for the dance!), hip hop, R&B, jazz, folk, alternative, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked on the Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu, then headed to the Amazon only to get poured on by a wild rainstorm while in the rainforest (had to paddle a canoe and trek back in the thick of the rain), and ended up getting a fever-- but survived!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, life experiences, and an adventure through town if you'd like to join me! Also, if you hate washing dishes, I can wash your dishes in exchange for the hospitality... :)
