I (Emily) recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with my Film and English degree. I am from the suburbs of Chicago but have been living in Boulder for the last 5 years. Since graduating in December I have been working to save money for an extended trip to Europe. I look forward to all new experiences and cannot wait to meet new people!

I (JF) am also a graduate of the University of Colorado. I am originally from Montreal, Canada and I currently work in a brewery in Boulder and enjoy hiking, skiing and rock climbing. I am so excited to be traveling around and experiencing different cultures, eating new foods, and meeting interesting people. I am looking forward to practicing my Spanish and Italian and sharing stories and kindness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I (Emily) be traveling across Europe with my boyfriend J-F for 4 months (June 1st- September 30th) and we would love to meet new people along the way!

I (JF) spent a year in Ireland (almost 10 years ago!) through the kindness of couchsurfers and I love the positive energy and genuine human connection we get when we share a couch, a bed, a drink, or a home-cooked meal together.
