Hi!

I'm Emily, a 21 year old full time University student studying in the U.K, I'm from Brighton on the south east coast of the U.K.

I love to share my experiences with people whether it be travel, music, food or whatever comes my way. I'm here to meet new people and provide a positive impact on peoples lives.

I love to explore new places in the U.K and around the world whenever I get the chance.

I'm open to all types of conversation and to learn new languages from people all over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in a remote Island village in Malaysia last summer, I was able to help the local community improve their facilities which benefited all of the people on the island. It was truly wonderful to see how grateful they were for our help and the generosity they showed to us.

Further our group were able to help young children improve their english language skills in such a short amount of time. It was amazing to see them learn and grow in the time we spent with them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give advice on traveling around the U.K and other countries, I'm able to share my stories and experiences of the places that I've visited and my love for helping others in anyway that I can.
