HIIII!!! My name is Emily and I am from the rainy west coast city of Portland, Oregon. This summer is going to be so much fun. Two of the things I am most passionate about are working with youth and riding my bicycle so, needless to say, I can’t wait to start. Growing up in a big city, I didn’t learn how to drive for many years, so I learned at a young age to rely on and love my bike. I went on my first bike tour a few years ago in Montana for 3 days and fell in love with traveling in this way. I then bicycled all over Montana and spent last winter exploring New Zealand by bicycle. It was awesome! Empowering! Beautiful!
Other than bicycling, I love to go hiking, backpacking, camping, and all other types of exploring! I also love to drink coffee, cook, and eat lots of food. But really, my favorite thing to do is laugh and connect with other people. I’ve worked with youth in various capacities throughout my life and am currently a high school mentor at a residential outdoor education program. I can’t wait for the summer, the sunshine, to explore new places, and meet all of you!
