Hey all!!!

I am Emma originally from Perth, Western Australia but has been a long time since i have been back. I have enjoyed travel since I was little. I am a happy and positive person that tries to have a good time no matter what I am doing or who I am with. I always keep an open mind and an open heart.

I am a free thinker that loves to learn new things and experience new ways of doing things. I enjoy playing sports (basketball and rugby is my main games, but enjoy most) I Love nature, hiking, climbing, adventures, camping, music, roller skating to name a few. I am most happy when in good company whom I can be silly with or have good conversations with about all different topics of the world but am also comfortable with my own company (an introverted extrovert). Also being in nature (with animals is a bonus! :) )

I prefer spending longer periods of time in a place before I move on so i can get a feel for what life is like in any given country. Currently in South Western Sweden for the first time working on a Icelandic horse farm (my first time with these majestic animals) Will then make my way over to Stockholm, Helsinki and Tallin and i hope to meet some incredible people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from all walks of life. I enjoy hearing their stories, passions, cultures, way of living. I believe that you can have great conversations and learn from anyone you meet and enjoy finding that common ground, and if i can get you to laugh or smile then its a bonus.

Wherever you are in the world, whatever the situation, it is the company you keep and the people that you meet that make the journey most memorable... The couchsurfing tribe tend to understand this :)

Interests

I like to learn and my mind is always open to new ways of doing and being.

I am interested in the world, philosophy, sustainability, politics, conspiracies, health, psychology, sports, yoga, meditation, animal care, road trips to name a few.

How to pick one? Decide to travel the world solo with no plans and just go the direction the universe takes me.
