As an extroverted introvert, Elina likes to engage with people through artistic and creative interests. She loves writing, running her own travel blog on Douban, listening to K-pop and Manderin indie bands, and traveling. She used to keep a list of everything in her planner, until she moved to LA for a year and Paris for four months. (Planning doesn’t work in these two cities, in many senses.) Now she is a mix of being spontaneous and maintaing her mastery of time management. Wherever she goes, she enjoys serving the community. ❤
