Hello everyone!! I'm Emily. I'm currently traveling as much as possible for the remainder of 2015. I enjoy traveling, meeting people, sharing stories, learning, experiencing new things and stepping outside of my comfort zone. I'm originally from Chicago, Illinois where I lived my whole life and went to school. I've been living in Austin, Texas for the past three years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to couch surfing, but I have friends who have had great experiences. I thought I'd give it a try. I enjoy meeting locals and connecting with people. Usually when I travel, I keep myself pretty busy and stay outdoors. My accommodation is just a place to put my bag and rest my head.
