Hey! My name is Emily, I am 21 years old, and currently live in Gainesville, FL. I am studying Sociology / Political Science at the University of Florida in the hopes of trying to make the world more of a better place. I am pretty passionate about Human Rights specifically LGBT rights and Anti Human Trafficking. If I am not working or at school I'm usually skating, swimming, running, hiking, really anything that involves the outdoors! I love meeting new people and traveling so I am really excited about starting a account!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but even more than that, I love to meet new people and make new friends. I believe the best way to experience a place is to to get to know the people who live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love basically any kind of music. I played the French Horn for quite some time and I can play a little bit of piano. I'm a Netflix addict and probably watched almost everything on there. My favorites are The Office and OITNB. Also my favorite book and movie is Harry Potter ( the whole series I can't pick one).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made the perfect burrito the other day. It was amazing.
