Hey! My name is Emily and I am a traveling musician and songwriter with the love of my life and band mate, Ryan. We have been playing and writing music together for a year now and see the road as the best way to share our music and to experience this world.
We have two guitars, two voices, and lots of stories to share and people to meet. We are excited for our up and coming trip to Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are traveling to France, Spain, Ireland, and England in September and October and want to travel in the best and most organic way possible. We want to meet locals and see the cities and towns from their eyes instead of from hotels. We don't need a lot of money; just our instruments and friends that we meet along the way!
