My name is Emily, I am 26 from the UK. I have been travelling for the last 3 years and I am currently in Australia on my working holiday visa. Friendly, tidy and laid back, I love meeting new people from all walks of life, and enjoying new experiences, learning new things about people I meet and places I visit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to meet locals in the areas I am travelling, to get to know the places I am staying and make new friends:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate all types of music. As a music graduate I appreciate music ranging from classical to ethnic to rock to jazz, with a particular soft spot for golden oldies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent one year volunteering for an NGO All Hands, a disaster relief organisation. I spent 7 months in the Philippines helping to build homes after the Super Tyhpoon there on Island Leyte, and 5 months in Nepal helping to clear rubble and build homes after the earthquake there.
