Hi!! I’m Ellie Walczak from Lowell High School in San Francisco. My favorite activity is dance, and I do all different styles including ballet, contemporary, and hip hop. I dance both at school on our dance team and outside of school at a small dance studio. I also teach ballet to young kids at my studio, which I love a lot and find super fun. My other hobbies include reading (my favorite books are fantasy ones), listening to music (my favorite artists are Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, and Olivia Rodrigo, but I listen to everything), going on walks and finding new cafes to get fun drinks at! I’m super excited for this trip and can’t wait to explore the culture, meet many new people, and experience new things!
