Hey There!
I'm Emily
I’M ON A MISSION TO HELP YOU GO PLACES AND EXPERIENCE MORE
I’m a travel enthusiast and lifestyle content creator based in Washington, DC. I love using my background in outdoor adventures and local explorations to share experiences that help you discover new places! I strive to inspire and empower you to explore the world around you, starting with your backyard. My goal is to uncover hidden gems, promote local adventures, and create a community of enthusiastic explorers. I’m committed to sharing unique experiences, fostering a love for the outdoors, and partnering with like-minded brands to bring unforgettable, accessible journeys to life.
Fun Facts:
World traveler in progress!
I’ve explored 23 countries and 44 U.S. states—and I’m not stopping until I’ve filled up my passport (I’m already on my third one!).
Double the degrees, double the fun!
I’ve earned two Master’s degrees and even serve on the Alumni Board of my alma mater.
¡Pura Vida!
I lived in Costa Rica for a year with a host family, where I mastered making gallo pinto and learned to embrace life the Central American way.
Thrill seeker alert!
Skydiving? Check. Bungee jumping? Check. What’s next? TBD, but it’ll definitely come with a side of adrenaline.
Countdown to 'I do'!
I’m getting married in the Fall of 2025 and, true to form, doing it the Emily way. Stay tuned for all the pics!
Massachusetts born and Boston proud!
I grew up as a die-hard Boston sports fan, and yes—I still have feelings about Tom Brady leaving the Patriots.
Game night champion!
Scrabble and Monopoly Deal are my jam. Bring your A-game if you want to challenge me—friendly trash talk is a given.
Morning person by choice!
I’m up by 5:30 AM most days because nothing beats a morning workout followed by a few cups of hot tea.
