I am Emil from Germany and always looking forward to meet new people. In my opinion every friendship started with 2 strangers and you will never know if you dont try. What more ?
I finished highschool, went travelling in Southamerica for 8 months (Chile, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia) and did my European Voluntary Service in Mexilhoeira Grande, a small town in the Algarve in Portugal. In my Project we did research on the concentration and impact of microplastic on the beaches near our center and tried to inform visitors about the hazards of it as well. In autumn 2018 I started my studies on cognitive science in Tübingen, Germany. In my freetime I am a scout and leader of a scout group in Tübingen, secondly a Europeer, which is a group of young people who have gathered European experiences of their own under the EU's youth programme and want to share their experiences and support the European ideal.
Feel free to ask me anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think its a much better way to learn and teach about culture and language than staying in hostels because you get easily conected to local people and besides that mostly you gonna have really good times.
Then of course to make friends with many International people, visit many new places and get some recommendations besides the tourist mainstream. And last but not least to learn and teach new things.
