Hi, I'm Emma. Recently returned to the Triangle area of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) after a year spent in Europe. Still trying to settle into a routine, so it's currently difficult to describe what I do and how I do it. I live with my partner Austin Snider in Morrisville, which is a suburb of Raleigh; technically, RDU is located in Morrisville! We like taking day trips in the area and participating in any local couchsurfing events.

My undergraduate studies were in French language and literature, and I think that was the beginning of my interest in interacting with people from all over the world. I am very interested in other cultures, but am also quite a homebody ^.^

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has allowed me to connect with all kinds of amazing people! We are all so different, but I think we share a desire to learn more about the world and contribute what we can.

Interests

When I am procrastinating, I am normally either listening to a podcast (pop culture or comedy) or watching youtube videos (cooking, historical sewing, women's health, interior design, etc).

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to share about anything I have experienced. I never know how my knowledge base will line up with others. I have studied French and Spanish and know some about history, literature, psychology, and sociology. I would love to learn anything about gardening or living more sustainably.
