Elena Ioannou, 21, Cyprus
Elena appears shy and quiet at first, but she's a kind and empathetic person once she opens up.

She is vegan and her goal is to raise awareness about healthy eating and habits, not by forcing people to see her point, but by promoting delicious vegan alternatives at cooking workshops.

Before becoming a TRATWA volunteer, she recently got her degree in English Language and Linguistics in Manchester, England. She's glad she was selected for this EVS project as it's a great opportunity to develop her skills and also to engage others to develop their English language skills. She is pursuing EVS in order to acquire experience and inspiration before starting her professional life.

Elena connects very much with Wrocław as the city is dynamic and multicultural and she wants her family to visit Wrocław.
Elena evolved in the first 2 months of the project in the sense that she is getting more confident in all aspects of her life, as well as more social, and has eliminated any stereotypes that she might have had.

After the project, Elena wants to continue travelling, get the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate and afterwards proceed with a career in teaching English.
