Hi :) My name is Emmaline, and I am currently living in the north of France. Prior to this year, I lived in New York City. I recently graduated with my degree in history, a subject that I love to talk about! Besides that, I am a classical pianist and I love having conversations about all kinds of music (but especially classical!). I also see lots of films in my free time, I’m very passionate about cinema.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love talking to people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I'm a pianist and organist, so naturally I LOVE classical music! My favorite composer is Beethoven, and I've been listening to his seventh symphony on repeat lately. Besides that, I'm a huuuuge fan of Lana del Rey.... I have practically grown up on her music. My favorite band is the Strokes. I'll listen to just about anything, and I am always looking for new recommendations.

Movies - My all-time favorites are Cinema Paradiso, Amélie, The Graduate, In the Mood for Love, and Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish.

Books - My Antonia, Crime and Punishment, Pride and Prejudice

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living with Franciscan nuns for two months !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share a lot about history, especially the medieval period! I've read lots and lots of history books, and I'm always happy to talk about what I've learned.

Really I just want to learn about other people's lives and cultures :) I know I will learn a lot from meeting new people, no matter what they have to "teach" me!

My favorite movies, yummy food, fun conversations, friendship and happiness
