I'm Emilie and I am 20 years old. I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico but I'm currently living in St. Petersburg, Florida attending school and studying International Relations and Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This summer I will be traveling across Europe on a tight budget. I heard great things about Couchsurfing and figured I would give it a shot! I hope to be able to experience the places I visit, learn about the culture, make new friends and build connections. This is my first time traveling alone. Although I plan on occasionally meeting up with old friends along my travels, I look forward to meeting new ones through Couchsurfing!
