Hello! My name is Emi and I was born in Lima, Peru.

I'm very curious and eager to learn a little bit about everything and experience as many things I can. I love meaningful conversations, spending time in nature, cooking, and artsy spaces. I’m always up for a hike, a swim, a beach sunset, a coffee or just wandering around a new city getting lost (on purpose). I’m endlessly inspired by people who live life with intention and a sense of purpose.

Topics that interest me include: spirituality, health and wellbeing, psychology, design, communication, yoga, philosophy, meditation, art, gardening, and everything that contributes to my development as a human.

I believe in sharing stories, skills, and time. Whether we’re sharing travel tips, cooking a meal together, or simply having a coffee and talking about life, I’m always grateful for connection.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe life is more beautiful when it is shared with others. I love meeting new people and live through their stories/experiences. You can learn so much from other people's experiences even if you just have a conversation for a few minutes.

I want to experience the world on my own and listen to these stories first hand. Couchsurfing allows me to connect with people from all over the world who understand the value of human connection.
