Hi i'm Emma.

After living in the tourist mecca of the Canadian Rockies for 4 seasons and doing a Canadian ski season I am ready to see some of the world! Travel within Canada has been rewarding so I can only imagine what the wide world has to offer.

My main goal involves traveling to every country in Eastern Europe and visiting all 50 states (and making the scrapbook of a lifetime while in the process). I love the show trailer park boys, adventures in bars, reading, documentaries, and small towns. I finished my degree in Geography and am enthusiastic about environmental activism, sustainable cooking, and the intersection between people and their physical environments.

I Love the open road and adventure and will happily take off on a bus anywhere and everywhere, especially if it's 4900 km away from here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have gained so much from every person I have met travelling Canada and I cannot wait to meet the amazing people of the world and learn about new music, new culture, new experiences, and new perspectives on life.
