Description

Hi there, & welcome to my profile!
My name is Lauren Emiddio, and I am a traveler from Long Island, NY! I love the ocean, spending time in nature, hiking, trying new things, learning/laughing with people and practicing my Spanish! I have traveled to countries in Central America including Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico, for 3 months staying with local host families and improving my Spanish! I recently walked 250 miles of the Camino De Santiago by myself, after spending 2 weeks at a Workaway in Asturias, Spain. I am a very warm and friendly person, but I am also quite self-sufficient! I prefer to keep my living space clean, eat healthy food and stay active. I am an Advanced Open Water scuba diver, and have done lots of diving in the Caribbean! I am currently enrolled in university online, and I plan to pursue my Bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies next year!
