Hello guys, I´m Ellen (in English) or Elena (in Spanish) from South Korea who´s been trying to do new challenges I've interested in for my life.

Since I was a student in the university, have had a lot of opportunities to meet international friends. With these novelty, curiosity led me go to another countries to get experience. and It made me overcome unnecessary anxiety about something new and broaden my point of view for the world.

Last year, in 2016 for a year, I'd been working as an intern in the one of the Hilton brand hotels in New Jersey, United States.
And this year, I've started to travel in South America and Central America. Still I'm travelling and now staying for several months in Mexico learning language and salsa dancing. Every moment, every day is precious in choosing myself. Also, I want to keep going whatever I want as it is.

So, for the next challenge, I'm planning to get a job in Mexico or somewhere to get accustomed to their life and work in the company which have different cultures and surroundings in that country.

I'm still struggle in my happy life and the definition of happiness. Until I find out that, I'll keep going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm traveling in South American and Central America for about 5-6 months,
I was sad that I couldn't hang out some local friends due to the lack of speaking ability, especially Español.
So I decided to learn this language in San Cristóbal de Las Casas , México for several months
and then registered Couchsurfing to meet more amazing friends over the world.

Furthermore, in the upcoming month, I´m planing to travel to another cities in México like México city, Guanajuato, Puebla and so on. REALLY DEFINITELY, I hope I could get a good experience about people, life, culture, their energy for salsa as well. Just want to do as they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went volcano hiking in Antigua, Guatemala few months ago. That was so hard and tested my limit of the endurance. It was raining all day long. I could be lost from my group. My team and guides helped me to climb up successfully together. That day, All of my clothes were wet and I got cold, we captured the most beautiful and memorable scenery on the top of the mountain in the dawn.
