Hi! My name is Elena. I am a Freshman from China, participating in WAT program this summer so I was working in toms river,Nj .
Recently,I finished my job so I plan to travel around the US. Sometimes travel alone sometimes with my friend Anki.
It's my first time to come to America so I am eager to discover the American culture and people. I love travelling because I always can meet interested people on the way.
I'm very easy going, talkative and friendly maybe I am kind of shy at the beginning LOL. I love the deep conversation about the life because I on the way to try to discover myself. I love to cook with those people who are really love food. Maybe I'm not cool enough but I'm trying:))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1)To try different things and meet new people
I want get to know people all around the world ,hanging out,talking and cooking together. Being eager to be exposed by new customs and ideas. I love to talk with people because it's a process of sharing and learning.
2)Leave the comfort zone and discover myself.
3)Life is too short to stay in the hotel.
