Hi, I'm Emily! I'm currently traveling the world at glacial pace - spending about 6 months in each location before moving on to the next great adventure! I find this gives me a chance to really get to know a place and the locals, and I am loving every minute!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my endeavor to really get to know a location, I love to have the chance to get to know the locals, and what better way to do it than to live with them for a few days at a time? It's also a great way to make new friends as I go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to the Western Amazon tributaries of western Brazil and eastern Brazil as a dental assistant! We provided dental care to the indigenous people, and stayed with the tribes in the villages! We slept in hammocks, ate spit-roasted wild boar, and got to know the local tribes. It was amazing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and trade stories! I would love to make a meal, or just pick up a few beers for us to chat over!
