Description

Hi! My name is Emma Kate, and I am so excited to get started with my travels. I am a current graduate student at the University of Georgia studying Agriculture and Environmental Education. I am participating in a Maymester studying farms in Morrocco and plan on traveling throughout Europe afterwards. I grew up in Atlanta and I have been all over the US working in various National Parks, doing anything from building trails in Crater Lake National Park out West to working at a backpacker hostel in Alaska. Now I am looking to expand my travels to places outside the US, as I have spent a previous winter in Ecuador and have returned with a hunger to travel and work around the world ever since. In my free time, I am currently involved in an internship at my university's 9 acre farm, where I have learned everything about operating large machinery and equipment, farm maintenance, harvesting, sowing, fertilizing and otherwise operating a small-scale certified-organic farm. I am also the current President of my university's Outdoor Adventure Club, where I organize various outdoor excursions, work with various outfitter companies to coordinate trips and lead various outdoor excursions (ie. whitewater rafting, hiking, caving, skiing, etc.). As you can probably infer, I am happiest when I am outdoors and connecting with others :)

Autres infos...

I love being outdoors, doing anything from hiking, swimming, gardening, etc. I don't believe I've had a full day unless I come home covered in dirt :). I enjoy playing tennis, painting, learning, and having discussions about things I daydream or wonder about. I am also an avid reader and would love to try anything you recommend!
