CURRENT MISSION

to learn as much as I can about the outside world, to sing songs around people, to meet everyone there is to meet

ABOUT ME

My name is Emily and I come from Michigan and I just finished a year as an English teaching assistant in France. That was whoa.

Now I live in New York City, I work at a non-profit (check us out!: www.godslovewedeliver.org - a secular org that prepares and delivers food to people who are too sick to feed themselves!) and I'm looking to find groups of people and things to do.

I love: playing guitar for people, going to concerts, cooking a good meal, drinking a good wine, discovering cities from the local point of view, and so much more.

If you google/YouTube me, you might be able to see me dancing in authentic lederhosen to "Friday I'm in Love."

PHILOSOPHY

Having just graduated college and followed a formula I set out for myself, I'm thinking I would much rather live my life however it comes my way...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spent 9 months in Europe having amazing CouchSurfing experiences. Now I'm in NYC and, while I can't host anyone (so sorry, everyone!), I'm definitely down for meeting up for coffee/exploring various scenes/having a freaking sweet time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Florence with Holly-Marie and Cassiope: 3 nights (and a delicious vegan pasta)
Roma with Tatjana: 3 nights
Munich with Nina: 3 nights
Berlin with Conny: 4 nights
Lyon with Isabelle: 2 nights
Toulouse with Clara and Conny: 1 night

Interests

I love to sing, listen to music, read, play cards, talk about pop culture, discuss current events, brush up on my French, go to bars, go for walks, explore the nightlife of a city
