*Heads up for folks with allergies/phobias! My home has two cats.

Hey there! I'm Emily. I grew up in Minnesota, and have also spent some time living in Philadelphia and North Carolina. I recently moved to DC after finishing my master of public health degree and am still figuring out the city, but I would love to explore with other couchsurfers!

I like mornings, biking, looking at maps, climbing, hiking and camping, crafts, street art, and cooking. I like to talk about health equity, policy, food, environmental issues, weird/cool things that have happened while biking, human behavior, and weird/cool things you've done while traveling.

If you’d like to stay with me, please try to give me a sense of why you think we’d get along in your message. I won’t accept generic copy and pasted requests.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing meet and get to know locals while traveling. Since then, I've met and hosted other Couchsurfers in my city. I've really enjoyed how it brings locals and travelers together to explore together and exchange stories.

Музыка, кино и книги

I'm trying to find someone who can help me learn bluegrass fiddle, lmk if you could be that person.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Performed in a concert with the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in Bethlehem as part of my college orchestra's international tour.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

Depends on what the host is looking for. I am low-maintenance, clean, and flexible. I can share stories, listen to your stories, and cook for you. If you like showing off your city, I'd be an enthusiastic companion, but I also can be totally independent if you're busy. I'm also happy to return the hosting favor by hosting/connecting you to hosts in the future.

Где я побывал(-а)

Canada, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Palestine, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland
