Hello!

My name is Emily, I'm 28 and an English teacher. We normally live in Brighton but from January to May 2015 my partner Cristian and I will be travelling around Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

We both love doing yoga, meditation, making clean and healthy food and spending time with family and friends. We love being outside in nature, going to the beach, swimming, cycling and walking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love to meet locals from the places we are visiting to understand and learn more about the countries we will be travelling in.
