For the wandering mind and modern design.
Hi! Nice to see you on anchored & adrift. My name is Emmie and I’m the writer, traveler, and renovator behind this site.
anchored & adrift is fueled by a lifelong contradiction: my need to be both anchored, feeling truly at home, and adrift, roaming in search of experiences. If you’ve found your way to this site, you might be familiar with it too.
With anchored & adrift, I share my travel experiences, guides, and hacks as well as my learnings as a millennial homeowner for your inspiration – and often entertainment. I also help friends and family with their renovation projects.
In non-blog life, I am a communications professional with hobbies in sports, fitness, and dance, headquartered in San Francisco.
What’s My Adrift Life Like?
I travel regularly for work and personal: recently, work has taken me to Finland, Spain, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland, Canada, and across the US. My personal travel includes visiting family in Europe, going on adventures with my partner (we just revisited Seoul!), and trekking between US coasts. I’m all about status as well, flying 1K on United, staying Titanium on Bonvoy, and even being an Elite Princess Cruises passenger.
Favorite Destinations: Cinque Terre, Italy; Seoul, South Korea; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Helsinki, Finland; Sint Maarten; Lake Tahoe, California
