Traveler Bio

Hi there! My name is Elleen Kim, and I'm from Houston, Texas. Before that I lived in Boston, Massachusetts, and I actually returned to Boston for college! I'm currently a junior studying Economics at Boston College, but for this semester I'm studying abroad at the University of Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain!

I've been studying Spanish since 8th grade, so I'm trying my best to immerse myself fully in the language while I'm in Barcelona. I am also a huge fan of good food, photography, and travel, and I will definitely be taking you all along with me as I explore these hobbies in Europe. I can't wait to get to know all of you and share my journeys with you in the next few months!
