Helooo, I'm Emma.
I'm 21 years old and I'm currently studying geoecology (similar to environmental sciences) in Potsdam, Germany.
I have not traveled that much yet, but am looking forward to changing that and getting to know more of the world :)
I love being outside and meeting people (most of the time, when I am not in an introverted phase). And I always try to discover connections in my environment, be it in nature, art or everyday life, as I think that connections help us see the beauty in the now and here.
We only have a limited time on this planet and in the end nothing will really remain of us. But we can still try to connect to our environment and leave a really tiny but on the small scale maybe really important impact.
So that is what I am trying to stay aware of and to implement in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have joined couch surfing because I am planning on traveling more during the next year and hope to meet lots of interesting people and to get a better insight into local cultures this way.
Plus, I really like the concept because it is based on sharing and connectivity and valorises kindness, human interactions and mutual learning more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, but I find it hard to choose one favourite book. There are just too many good ones!
But some genres that I really enjoy are philosophical novels (especially Camus), historical fiction and theater plays.
As for music, I listen to a broad mix of genres from rock to indie to jazz and techno... basically everything except for German Schlager.

I'm always happy to get recommendations and tips for both :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a respectful and orderly person who doesn't need much to be happy, so I hope to be an agreeable guest.
I am flexible about hanging out, I have no problem at all with walking around on my own but would also enjoy talking, cooking or visiting places together.
I can share some random knowledge about some plants and bird species (but I can talk about other topics too I promise).
