Hey, whats up everyone! My name is Emily but my friends all just call me Em. I'm 21 years old and from a beautiful little town called West Chester, PA that is about 45 minutes from Philadelphia. I love to laugh and have a good time! I recently graduated from the University of Delaware where I studied International Relations with a focus in Development and Latin America. I am currently working for a mortgage lender-- I was in sales but now I'm in a recruiting role! Eventually I'd like to work in the non-profit sector but I'm not quite sure in what capacity yet. I love my job and I work a lot, but in my free time I love to be outside, hike, cook, read, listen to music, shop, taste wine, write letters, craft, and day dream about my next traveling adventure. I can't host at this time because I don't have room in my apartment with my roommate, but I love to meet people and hear about the cool things they're up to. Currently living outside of Baltimore and down to hang!

Looking to backpack South America soon-ish if anyone has tips or suggestions :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent a month in Santiago to work and practice my Spanish and I didn't know anyone in the city when I first arrived. I've always loved to meet people and try new things but my first time in a city with a language barrier and no connections was intimidating! I used couchsurfing and ended up meeting some incredible, fun people who made my time away from "home" wonderful.
I can't host yet because I live in a tiny apartment with 3 other students but I'm on couchsurfing now because I want to welcome people who are new to a city or just looking to hangout and share and have a good time! :) life's all about the people you meet and experiences you share!

Jack Johnson is my favorite but I listen to everything! I love alternative, classic rock, and hiphop/rap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Bought a parcel of land on the US/Mexican border so that Donald Trump can't build that goddamn wall

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Spanish so I'd be down to grab coffee and practice with any native speakers, I'd also love to help anyone learning English.
Ask me about CISV when we meet up...it's my favorite and I'm sure many of you would love it too!
