ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Emily. I moved to Chicago for a job last year and now my life is here! I work early intervention, love biking, learning Spanish, and traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.
-Conan O' Brien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the opportunity to host twice now and loved being a host. I think the CS philosophy of hospitality is fantastic. I know there's a lot of responsibility in hosting someone, too, so let me know in enough time and hopefully we can work something out, but if I know I'll be preoccupied with work then you'll probably have more fun elsewhere.

Interests

I spend most of my time with my (huge) family and my (new) baby!
