Hello! My name is Ellen, and I love humans and vegetables. Currently I exist as a medical student but beforehand I worked at a homeless shelter, was less addicted to coffee & schedules, and actually had time to read quality books (now I just pretend to, haha). I have 6 siblings so have been through a day or two of chaos (haven't we all??). Running is a pretty powerful outlet -- so is being up for the sunrise. Some goals I have for the future are to learn to garden like a champ and actually teach myself guitar. The fortune cookie I had today said "the secret to good friends is no secret to you" haha I hope that is true; I have certainly been blessed with knowing some quality souls. It would be great to meet you soon as well!

Sorry, I don't have Facebook (....not cool enough haha) and am new to actually using couchsurfing so feel free to ask any questions or however this works.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hospitality shows us that another world is possible! Meeting people is incredible - especially those that are local to the city/would like to experience life as a local.
