Description
Hey there! I'm Elys, originally from Indonesia, though I've spent most of my life in NYC. Right now, I work remotely as an art director for a tech company, but I'm slowly transitioning out of the corporate world to follow some other passions of mine!
I'm a laid-back person with a curious nature and a love for travel. A few years ago, I spent a year and a half traveling around the world, and it was truly life-changing. I'm always dreaming of going back on the road full-time.
I’m active on Couchsurfing and enjoy doing house and pet sitting. Volunteering and connecting with others brings me so much joy because I believe everyone has unique experiences and insights to share—and I love learning from them.
In my free time in NYC, I volunteer on boatbuilding projects with a rowing group, and I've also helped a few nonprofits with design work, including a free sailing school and an urban wildlife alliance.
I can't wait to cross paths with all of you and create some unforgettable memories together!
