Mini bio
How it started.
Elena loved watching YouTube in high school and was already making and editing videos as a teenager. In her Iced Coffee Hour interview, she recalled starting her channel in 2015, then committing more seriously in 2017 while studying in San Diego.
Building a career.
Her early growth was gradual. She told The Iced Coffee Hour that she reached 100,000 subscribers the day after graduating college in 2018. That milestone encouraged her to pursue YouTube full time. She traveled that summer and moved to New York in September.
Following her curiosity.
Born in France and raised in California, Elena has since called New York, Paris and London home. Her films move between local culture, outdoor challenges and ordinary routines. Alongside travel, she has made apartment tours, reading reflections and finance explainers.
Travel with a purpose.
In 2022, she set off with her sister Sage on a Mediterranean journey that put women’s stories at its center. They planned to meet locals and subscribers and learn how women experienced life in each destination. Later films followed a Kilimanjaro climb, the Silk Road and a trek across Iceland.
