hi! i'm emily and i live with my partner, jonathan, in san francisco. currently. we're both from new england and currently enjoying all the outdoor pursuits that california has to offer. we work in urban planning, international relations, food service and marketing. we are artists, yoga teacher, bike mechanic, sailors, gardeners, and writers, and enjoy learning new things every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

we're on couchsurfing to meet other travelers (in SF or abroad - our next trip is Copenhagen!), help you have an awesome experience and to participate in the cashless economy (ie: the REAL sharing economy - teaching yoga, cooking meals, telling stories, cleaning, gardening, and learning).

Interests

our favorite activities include: road trips, camping, hiking, cooking, cycling, cozy dive bars, board games, running on the beach, brewing beer, and hanging out with friends doing all of the above.
