Description

Hello, I'm Emma, an avid adventurer, living in the beautiful state of Washington. Currently, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact through my work at a non-profit Boating Center. In my spare time, you'll often find me gardening, hiking, skiing, or cold water swimming.

I am passionate about food justice and bridging the gap between agriculture, community, and health. I believe that joy and community connection are imperative for social change. I've found that gardening is one of the best ways to connect with others.

In my travels, I would like to deepen my understanding of international gardening and homestay practices. I look forward to learning from diverse cultures and sharing my experiences to foster global connections based on sustainability, community, and the love of nature.
