"I am from England, but am currently living and teaching English in Salta, Argentina. I came out to South America with my boyfriend in September 2014. We started by doing a TEFL course in Ecuador and stayed there for 5 months. We then moved south to Argentina in February of this year and have been here in Salta since. This is our second time in South America, having travelled around Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile in 2012. We loved it so much so we decided to return and get to know the continent a bit more by living and working here. We have also become involved in a volunteer project in Argentina, in Salta in order to meet new people and contribute a bit to the local community. It's been a fantastic experience and I feel that everyday I am learning more about the country and its people." - Ellena, UK
