Im Emma and I am an avid traveler. Grew up in Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington areas, moved around a lot as a kid. currently in Portland working and living life. always planning that next trip :)

I am self employed as a Doula and Car Dealer. Which allows me to travel a bunch. I love green spaces and walking around cities. I am a simple traveler, having a book and my two feet is good enough for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to enjoy a different level of interaction with others that you can't get unless you seek it out. I would love to meet new faces share experiences and enjoy new ideas. I am not really needing places to stay, but I would enjoy meeting up with other travelers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I honestly like all music if it has good lyrics or good energy. I use music to set the mood for whatever adventure I am on.

Movies: I Love suspense, mystery, period pieces, historical films, book to movie adaptation, Cult classics, and found footage

Books: I am HUGE reader, I could talk books all darn day. I love fantasy and Sci-fi novels the most but I will dive into pretty much anything and give it a chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Decided traveling wasn't just a hobby for myself and made it a priority to travel abroad at least once a year. I've now traveled to 14 countries in less than 2 years. soon to be 16!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: cooking mainly homemade popcorn, my signature blackened tuna, great chili, lots of casseroles.

Learn: new culture, new phrases in differently languages, new histories/facts

Share: good conversation, different perspective, general knowledge, organizational skills
