Hiii! My name is Emma, i'm a 27 y-o creative person and young professional based in Montreal. I love going on bike rides, listening to live music, experimenting with art, travelling and meeting new people!

I'm vegetarian and love cooking tasty and nutritious meals for myself and friends. I coordinate digital art workshops for work and, in my free time, I like to read, go for walks and explore the city.

Lately I've been enjoying going on weekend trips to visit friends in different places such as Toronto and New York.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's beautiful to share what we have with others and to trust the goodness that exists in people. I find it exciting to meet and share stories with hosts; CS is a great way to connect with people that we wouldn't have met otherwise.

I also like staying with someone who knows the city pretty well because it feels like a more real experience of the place. CS is a great community that I've been a part for many years. I took a break during the pandemic and I'm back now!

Music, Movies, and Books

I loooove music! I listen to a lot of different genres ranging from jazz to dream pop, hip-hop, soul and RnB. I go to live shows quite often and play a bit of music myself (guitar and singing).

Favorite books I've read recently: Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi, You exist too Much by Zaina Arafat and Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.
