Hey!

My name is Emilia and I sort of want to know about everything in this world. :D I'm a person, who always like to do something useful and hate wasting time. Three things I can't imagine my life without – are music, reading and sports. I always ride my grandmothers old bike in the city, snowboard during winterseason and skateboard all year around (though I'm a total newbie). :)

I love nature and animals: forests, mountains, seas - watching and feeling every small movement of wildlife.

Also I also actually like cooking delicious vegan or vegetarian food, but, honestly, I'm too lazy (or busy?) to do it.

My main motivators in life are independence and self-education.

I really enjoy communicating with polite, honest, kind, sensitive and clever people. Also love exploring new people, listen to their opinions and world view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm sure that self-organisation and mutual aid rule the world and also that it is the only way to achive progress!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Collecting vinylrecords in the genre of progressive-, psychedelic- and krautrock. Also some heavy blues and acid folk, but still listen to many variations of music. Love stonerrock!

I especially like reading fiction and psychological works of neofreudians.

My favorite fiction books are:
Aldous Huxley "Brave New World".
George Cockcroft "The Dice Man".
Edgar Allen Poe "Tales of Mystery and Imagination".

My favorite psychologists are Erich Fromm and Karen Horney.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well... Sometimes I think about the fact that my life started with long gone relatives that I descend from. To be born was the most amazing thing that could ever happen to me, I think.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can of course share my bunch of knowledges and skills of various things. Some more important or interesting than others. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Easy-going company and tidyness - perhaps also one or two interesting stories. :)
