Hello everyone!! My name is Emma and I am studying law, French and Spanish at university in Auckland. I was born in Hong Kong and moved to Auckland when I was seven and have been here ever since! I did a bit of travel when I was younger and I'm hoping to do a lot more in the next couple of years!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am super lucky and super excited to be studying at the Universidad de Salamanca in Feb 2016!! Before then I'm travelling around Europe with a friend and would love to meet and hang out with people on our travels so that we can see the real Europe and not just the tourist destinations!! I'm also studying French and Spanish at uni so if anyone who speaks those languages would like to meet up send me a message! I'd love to have a chat and practice with different accents! I'd love to meet new people and hear stories about your travels/advice for my travels so if you're in Auckland or going to be in Germany/Austria/Spain over Jan/Feb send me a message :0)

Centres d'intérêt

at the moment I spend most of my time studying, working or procrastinating! (mostly procrastinating)
my favourite things to do though are reading, hanging out with friends, swimming, going for walks with my dog to pretty places, going to plays, and going to new bars/cafes/restaurants! I love trying new food, I'm always up for checking out a new restaurant or street vendor and I am so excited to eat lots of yummy food in Europe!!!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I listen to pretty much anything and everything... I am so bad with music I never know which artists are playing or the names of songs I'm the worst person to make a playlist for a party but I'll listen to anything! That said my favourites are Hozier, Stromae & Taylor Swift!
I love to read!! My favourite thing to do is sit on a floating chair in the pool and read all day in the sun! Never let me go by kazuo ishiguro is one of my favourites, as well as anything by Kate Atkinson, and Truth and Beauty by Ann Patchett
