Hello!

My name is Emma, I am 25 years old, and I am currently living in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I am originally from sunny California, but I moved to Germany in August 2018 to complete a double bachelor's degree. I ended up falling in love with the country and decided to stay and do my master's in Germany as well.

For a little more about me, here are some of my fun facts:

-I have a passion for traveling and learning about new cultures.
-I love adventures (hiking, backpacking, road trips, etc.)
-I consider myself to be a very open-minded person specifically about religion, culture, and things of a similar sort. I want to get to know YOU as an individual.
-I love learning and would be more than thrilled to be able to learn something new from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because when traveling, I prefer to be immersed in the local culture as much as possible. I have only couch-surfed twice while I was in Iceland, however, it was the best experience of my life. I would have couch-surfed more in the past few years, but unfortunately, when I came to Europe and made new travel friends, they were not interested in Couchsurfing. That being said, I am really looking forward to Couchsurfing again and meeting new people from around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book would be Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau.

As for music and movies, my taste is pretty much all over the board! Show me something new!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most memorable thing I have ever done was when I traveled to New Mexico and stayed on a Native American Reservation in exchange for community service. On that trip, I also was given the opportunity to hike up a waterfall, and it was the most challenging but rewarding thing I have ever done.
