Hey new friend! Nice to virtually meet you. I'm Emily, a 26 year young gal from the faraway lands of the USA. I am one of many things... Currently, a traveler, graphic designer, shell gathering surfer, wannabe interpretive dancer, entrepreneaur, and mostly, a curious mind.

I'm very excited about travel, trying new things, and meeting new people. To me, traveling isn't just about seeing new places; it's about discovering who you are, pushing your limits, getting to know how the world works outside your hometown.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn your life story and get the inside scoop from a local while making a few new friends all around the world. One day, I'll be on the other side and offer my couch to help make a stranger's day. Karma happens!

Interests

Art, design, surfing, strangers, patterns in nature, ice cream, travel, and animals of all kinds.
I am a full time freelance graphic designer and sometimes travel blogger during my travels. Check out my travels on www.instagram.com/rathmaster or my blog www.wildbeachdog.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Check out my blog www.3thingsthatmakemesmile.com. I admire life's little things, like the sky's natural gradient or a kiss from a dog.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've heard some incredible stories throughout my short-lived life. From strangers on a park bench to cafe owners to little children, everyone has a story to tell.
Can't wait to hear yours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Open ears, seaglass jewellery tutorials, painting, a helping hand in the kitchen, ice cream sundae parties, room rearranging, pet massage, heaps of design advice, a walking buddy, and plenty of smiles.

I am a great listener and have an open mind. With couchsurfing, I hope to get to know my host or guest and learn from them while interacting in the normal everyday activities and sharing laughs.
