My name is Emily, and I am a 21 year old college student that will be traveling through Europe from May till August. I am studying anthropology and public health in my undergraduate studies, and have just been accepted to graduate school for a masters of arts in management. I love animals, going for runs, cooking healthy food (I am a vegetarian) and authentic experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people, have new experiences, and learn about the places I go through the eyes of locals. I think that cultural exchange is one of the most important things about traveling, and I believe that everyone has something to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a whim i decided to lead a month long backpacking trip with a whole bunch of fourteen year olds. I managed to keep all of them alive, which feels pretty amazing to me ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love art, music, making food and having meaningful conversation. I am a certified horseback riding instructor, but unless we can find horses that probably won't be very useful :) I would love to cook, discuss, and explore the city!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and chat over a nice meal. Storytelling is one of my favorite things, and I believe that one can learn a lot from someone based on the stories that they have to share.
