My name is Emily. I’m an American that’s been backpacking pretty consistently since November 2021. I started in South America and made my way north through most of Central America entirely by public buses and hitch hiking. Now I’m exploring Europe and visiting friends that I’ve met while traveling. I’m super chill in all ways and love to explore alone or with new friends. My main goal while I travel is to learn from the locals around me as much as I can while being respectful of their homes. I’m a little quiet at first but at the slightest provocation will show you my silly sarcastic side. I love cooking, movies, swimming, hiking and dogs and cats.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is the connections I make along the way. You can only see so many beautiful cathedrals before it gets old! What makes traveling special is seeing a beautiful cathedral while standing next to a new friend holding ice cream cones and sharing weird stories from our lives and discovering the bizarre things that we have in common

教，学，和分享

I was a History major in university and have worked in politics in the past. I’m always super interested in the history of places where I travel as well as the current political situation. I would love to hear what you think about your government, leaders, and the future of your city or country

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I speak Spanish! I can help you practice if you’re interested :) I also have a lot of experience with Workaway and have volunteered in 8 different countries. I can share more information about the places I’ve been and give you tips and tricks for cheap backpacking. Also, I’ll happily cook for you anytime!
