My name is Emily Fales but I also go by epic :)
I Have spent most of my life in Washington state. I grew up in Spokane and graduated from University of Washington in Seattle in 2012. I traveled to Europe as part of a study abroad program offered through Gonzaga Univeristy. My passion in life is forest ecology and I will be moving around for the next few years until I land a permanent position somewhere in the NW.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because as a seasonal temporary field technician I was given very short notice of my new position with Lomaski. I have very little funds right now to begin a lease agreement in Ashland while still maintaining my room here in Seattle until my lease is up in September. If I start a lease agreement I would have to pay double rent in July and I cannot afford those costs. I am also very interested in meeting local people my age in Ashland to socialize with and hopefully make friends with.

I love hula hooping, Dancing, EDM music, painting, puffy painting, crafting and swimming.
I have been to burning man 3 times and plan to go to shambala for my first time this summer. Festivals and shows are a large part of my free time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent St. Patrick's day 2009 in Dublin and back packed through the Wicklow mountains for a week afterward.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people how to hula hoop, wire rap jeweler, and make duct tape wallets galore!
