About Me

Hi! I’m Emily. As I am in my final year of high school and still living with my parents, I sadly cannot offer to host, but I can help with anything else. I have a car so I can go for rides. I know a lot of nice places that are not so popular for tourists that are worth seeing. I love animals, I myself have a german shepherd, she’s the sweetest girl. I love driving, cooking, exploring nature. I am open to new ideas :)
