Hi! I'm Emily, 24, nonprofit worker based in DC. I work in marketing and communications and since graduating, have had a few more opportunities to travel.

A bit about me: I'm always going. I like to go different places and experience new things! I'm a recent college grad that majored in sociology, so I am quite passionate about social issues and consider myself a pretty aware person. I love explore DC – currently on the hunt to find the best coffee shop here, hang out with my friends on weekends, and I love brunch. I also am a huge fan of live music in nearly any capacity - from small clubs to stadiums. It's a huge part of my life!

Overall, I'm easygoing and friendly. I'm a big talker and like to hear other peoples' stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A couple of friends rave about how couchsurfing truly changed their way of travel, so I thought I'd give it a try.
