Aloha,

My name is Emry, and I am 23 years old. I was born and raised in the South Carolina, USA. If you are outside of South Carolina people refer to it as the "Carolinas," I'm still getting used to that ;)! I have 8 other brothers and sisters, 16 aunts and uncles, and 31 first cousins. There was never a dull moment growing up needless to day. After a couple years of college in South Carolina, I decided to follow my heart and move to the sunshine state of Florida! I finished my AS in Palm Beach, but I knew all along I wanted to teach yoga in Hawaii. I'm starting to follow what is truest to myself, and it has let me enjoy life like never before. Slowing down - and enjoying the simple things is what makes me feel most alive. I live 10 minutes away from the beach, and love spending long days soaking up the sun. I own a small residential cleaning business, and have been running it for the past three years. It has not only taught me so many valuable life skills, but has given me the funds to save money and travel. I am heading to India in October 2016, and am going to finish out with a mini South East Asia tour. I love to observe the wonderful world around me, and try to stay positive in all sticky situations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I started planning my big trip I figured it would not only be a great way to meet other open-minded people, but would be a great environment to swap some culture and laughs!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook you a nice crockpot soup, curry dishes, baked seafood with lemon-dill, or whatever you are craving. I love to cook!!!! I also own my own cleaning business, so would be more than willing to help around the house, or in the garden. I try and practice yoga daily, (some days I feel stronger than others) and would love to lead us in a heart warming sequence.
