The Traveler

             Jelena Rasic is a twenty- five year- old who was born in Eastern Europe. She is living in the U.S but travels a lot. Jelena is here in Alaska for the summer and working at the Grizzly Bear Campground gift shop. She has worked there for three years and also works as a photographer.
       Jelena moved out of Europe because of the war. She says, “The stupidest thing I’ve done is moved out of the country to the United States by myself.” Although she is not pleased about moving to America, she does not spend all of her time here. She has been traveling ever since she can remember. She’ has been to Asia, Thailand, Singapore, and pretty much all of Europe.
       Jelena started traveling because her brother is a professional basketball player. She traveled all over with him to watch his games. Her brother plays for the Austria college team. She says, “I love watching all his games and I’m so proud of him. “
       Jelena travels with her boyfriend, family, and brother. She and her boyfriend are traveling to Greece later this summer. Jelena loves to travel and it seems like as long as it keeps her happy, she could be found anywhere in the world.
