Hello! I'm Ellie! I was gone a while, so my links are a bit outdated, though still fairly relevant.

I come from the west coast, but I've been on the east for nearly 16 years now. I'm 35, almost 36. I'm disabled, and I am unlikely to travel much more, and I've only visited 4 countries in my life (Mexico, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium). My spouse and I are both disabled with many medical expenses. Those, along with our cats and my child sponsorships, take up all my money. However, my biggest passion in life is helping others anyway. :)

I'm still passionate about seeing and knowing the world, though, so your cards let me see all the places I can never visit! I LOVE to see your place & see it how you see it!

(Card ID <7 digits? PLEASE pick from these if you can!)
