I'm Emily and at the moment I'm a student at City University London. I love art, books, films, seeing new places and meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from wherever, and couchsurfing really is a great opportunity to do that, and share what you can with others while you're at it. It's really a give and take sort of thing, and I like that a lot. I'd love to get into couchsurfing a bit more, and host and stay a bit more often.

Interests

Music is a big part of my life, I'm a classical singer, which I study as part of my university course, and own a small collection of musical instruments which I'm looking to grow. I love anything creative really, anything to do with the arts. Living in London now is a great opportunity to get out there and experience culture and just explore and go on adventures in the area, which I'm just getting in to. Adventure on the whole appeals to me -- I love to travel, believe it or not.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of music, not all, but 19th century music and modern indie are particularly my jams. As for films, my favourites are rom-coms -- I'm sorry but it's true. I love drama too though, anything with a good story, intrigue, mystery, sci-fi, though I'm really getting into horror, it's just that everyone's seen the best ones and I can't watch them alone, so it's slow going. Books-wise, I really only read my university texts. And a lot of the time not even then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is volunteer as an English teacher for 12 months in Thailand last year. I worked in a secondary school most of the time, living in a house with another girl, but I was also able to travel quite a bit, all over the country and into Cambodia and Singapore. It really was one of the best times of my life and I can't wait to get back out travelling about, hopefully in the summer I'l get to travel somewhere for a short while -- fingers crossed for Italy.
