Hi! My name is Emily. I definitely inherited the travel bug and the love for learning about new cultures. I studied anthropology in college and now work as a nutrition educator. I have a passion for community engagement and meeting others. This extends to traveling! I am always up for good food and walking for hours to find the perfect people watching spot. I am also just as eager to hike up a mountain or jump in an ice cold lake!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is so much value in learning about a new place from those who experience it everyday.

Music, Movies, and Books

Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts: a bit of idealist image of India but love reading his descriptions and his life philosophy.

I love any music that makes me want to dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 7 months in rural Malawi teaching at a Mountain View School for the Deaf. This experience definitely taught me to beauty of stepping outside of your comfort zone, traveling alone and being less wasteful.
