Greetings from the present!

My name is Emily, but folks often call me Em, Spogs, Em Spogs, or Spoggy!

I grew up in New Hampshire (USA), but most recently I've been splitting my time between Northern California and Western North Carolina.

I love to travel, try new food, meet new folks, and be a nerd. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a strong believer in lifelong learning and exchanging goods and services. I think organizations like Couchsurfing, Helpx, and WWOOF do a great job of connecting people from all over the world. I love opportunities to meet new people, share my life, create genuine connections, and learn new things. Currently I'm only looking to be hosted, but once I get settled in the states I certainly plan to return the generosity as a host!

Interests

Oh everything and anything.

Mostly running, hiking, reading, eating, board games, time with family, exploring in the woods.

But also....figs, podcasts, pick-up soccer, jigsaw puzzles, trivia, Legos, roller skating, and blue cheese.
