Hi, my name is Emily, I'm a 24 year old poet and artist from California currently living in Brazil and working as an ESL teacher. I graduated from California College of the Arts in 2015 with a degree in Writing & Literature. I love fiction, poetry, and music especially. I also paint, make mixed media art, code (html, css, etc), and experiment with film, video, and digital art. I love learning languages and am currently working on my Portuguese, as I'm living in Brazil. I love traveling, meeting new people and learning about different cultures, foods, and ways of life. I like to laugh as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am about to be on holidays from teaching and would like to travel to the city and meet new people.
