Well hello there!

I'm Emma, 22-year-old sophomore at the University of Turku. I'm studying geography and I'm loving it - I've always been interested in traveling, meeting people from other countries, different cultures, nature etc. That's why I registered to CS in the first place.

I live near the city centre of Turku with my fiancé and our funny little shetland sheepdog Luka.

I'm active in different student organizations and I like to keep myself busy. Currently I'm in UN Youth of Finland, Nature League, European Geography Students Association, in my faculty's own student association... So besides studying and working in a small grocery store I spend my free time in events and meetings of the organizations mentioned above.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanderlust - I have a cronic urge to travel and I live from planning trips. Nothing motivates me more than travelling.
People - I love meeting people
Economy - well, I am a student with a student budget

Interests

Good music, good food, good movies, good times in a nutshell! But of course also:
Geography - naturally, as I'm studying it
Traveling - my biggest dream is to explore every country, I consider getting to know different cultures as my deepest meaning of life

Music, Movies, and Books

Most relaxing nights always include a good movie, like Drive, The Darjeeling Limited, Moonrise Kingdom, Blue Valentine, Django Unchained, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Forrest Gump, Birdman, Nightcrawler...

I love bands and artists like Beirut, Animal Collective, Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, The Killers...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went for a ten day hike with people I never had met before. We spent awesome days in Finnish Lapland and it really showed me how easily you get to know people when you're stuck in the wilderness with them. Without playing cards.
