Hi, I'm Emma!

I'm a student at Tufts University studying Biochemistry and Classics, which is, admittedly, a bit of an odd combination.

For the past year, I've been living in England as a study abroad student. One of the strangest (and great) parts of studying in the UK is the extremely long holidays, so I've been taking advantage of the time and traveling a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently studying in England for the year and looking to explore new countries and meet interesting people whilst abroad. Couch surfing seems like a great way to get to know locals and I'm very excited to try it out!

Interests

I work backstage in student theatre as a hair and makeup artist/designer. I started two years ago on a show called Eurydice (by Sarah Ruhl) because it was based on Greek mythology, and I love Classics. I've been working on shows ever since. This term, I'm working on five shows in eight weeks, which should be both stressful and a total blast!
