CURRENT MISSION

I am a musician in search of the road less traveled in the south east US states & then in LA! Looking to have a great experience and a unique journey filled with like minded souls! :)

ABOUT ME

Hi Guys,

I am a free spirit currently chained down by corporate monotony. I am off to see the US shortly and am keen to make this my experience that changes my life.

I am transitioning from a corporate role to something in the music industry (band management / stage management / music production / event management / the list goes on and on) as a performer and general highly functioning human being.

My friends would describe me as "lovely, fun, nice, the right kind of stupid :), crazy and happy".

I would describe me as the kind of person around which the most surreal events happen. For example, in my travels, I will be meeting with the band Gwar from Richmond... This is amazing to me because I didn't think I could engineer and experience this amazing! :) But that's what I try to do, create a positive environment where people can achieve more than they expect of themselves!

I look forward to our adventures...

Emma

PHILOSOPHY

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...
The journey is what's important, not the destination (cliche I know, but I always enjoy both) :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a very clean and organised person, so I will ask you about your rules and how you like things done so that I do not inconvenience you.

Happy to do some chores to help out around the house, however I am allergic to other people's dirty pantaloons, so please don't make me wash them.

I promise to leave your house and your things in the same of better condition than when I arrived as my lovely mother taught me to have good manners.

I also say please and thank-you... :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mainly couch surfed with friends or friends of friends informally, I like this approach because it helps me to feel safe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Europe:

* Notre Dame
* Picasso museum
* Eiffel Tower
* All those token Western European icons
I have also been to Ireland (co-incidentally people often think I am from there because of my demeanour and accent), England, Spain (spent a week there with no grasp of the language - it was great)...

Most of my excellent experiences have been engineered here in my home country! Let me tell you more sometime.
