Hello, my name is Ellen Li (but you can call me Eli) and I’m an American going to University in the United Kingdom! It’s my first time trying couchsurfing, but I’m a passionate and adventurous spirit fuelled by the thrill of meeting new people and immersing myself in diverse cultures. My journey is a vibrant exploration where every encounter is an opportunity to learn, connect, and share!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m currently in university and want to travel the world from a local point of view, instead of indulge in the curated touristy instagram world.
