My name is Emily. I write about the underrated locales, restaurants, and activities around the world because even in the busiest destinations, they’re hiding in plain sight.

I’ve been traveling and moving since I was a year old, but (right now) I’m based in New York City, and I’ve spent extended time living around the world, including in London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Lima.

I know that the best places often go under the radar, so you don’t have to set a timer on your phone for a reservation, wait in line, or get stuck in the crowd when you’re on vacation.
