Description
I'm Emily, a fun-loving, enthusiastic, and spontaneous person. I usually put others first because I just want to make the world a better place! My motto in life is that everyone is fighting something, and at the end of the day, everyone deserves to be happy. So, I try to spread positive vibes as much as possible!
I'm originally from a tiny town in Maine, USA. I got a scholarship for college in New York, and moved out of the US after graduation to move to my home "base" in Istanbul, Turkey. Now we’re in Berlin, but I’ve been working and living abroad for the past 10 years - with stints in Japan and New Zealand also. I am normally working full time to fund a lot of traveling.
I did workaway myself from 2017-2021, and started hosting workawayers of my own in 2019, whenever I am home.
My husband Emre is a hairdresser from Turkey. He works part time and would generally be happy to cut your hair while you’re here :)
