I'm Emma! Recently came to the close of a several week long trek though western Europe and I've concluded that a backpack, open mind, and good intentions are really all you need to make the most of life. When I got home I quit my previous 9-5 with the DoD, purged 90% of my belongings, packed my car, and moved to Gainesville, Fl. I've been focusing on my acting career since, working on set in Atlanta and doing community theatre while juggling two serving jobs (couldn't be happier!) I plan on making my way up to Atlanta within the next year, but until then, I'm taking opportunities as they come and being as proactive as possible. In short, a 'yes man'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to fully immerse myself into the culture of where I'm visiting, otherwise there's no real satisfaction.

Interests

I live and breathe theatre. I'll travel thousands of miles for music. Poetry, dancing, hiking. I swear I have a left brain- he's just a little lazy.
