My name is Ellen Sands and I am a student studying Economics and French at the University of Virginia, USA. I've spent time studying at Sciences Po Lyon as well and I love to travel. I consider myself an easy going person, love meeting new people and trying interesting foods. One thing I love to do when visiting cities is seeing live music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to experience places with the help of people who know it best. I think it's a unique and fun way to avoid tourist traps and get to know the city. I am always willing to try new things and Couchsurfing is certainly a great opportunity to do so.
