-- It's been a long while since I have been active in the Couchsurfing game and for those many unanswered messages/requests, I truly apologize! I'm so looking forward to connecting with Couchsurfers again! --

Hiya friends!

I'm Emily and I'm from a small town in Northern Ontario, Canada, currently living in the big city of Toronto. I'm an individual trying my hardest to do good in this world. I believe in empathy and full circles and love and laughter and honesty. Life favourites include: existing, travelling, loving, learning, drinking tea, full moons, reading, photography and writing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a responsible, respectful and easy-going traveller. I love learning from those around me. I'm super tidy, and I promise I will treat your home with love and care (if I'm surfing), and if I'm sharing my home, you can expect those same warm fuzzies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've made some really wonderful and meaningful memories because of Couchsurfing and my experiences have been overwhelmingly positive. The kindness and generosity of this community is abundant and warms my heart.

I climbed a water tower in Indonesia and looked up at the sky for a few hours. I've also been skydiving and that was a pretty wild experience.
