Hey!!
Please call me Em for short :)
I laugh really loudly and really like giving new things a go!
I'm a friendly and active person who loves a bit of enthusiasm too! I love exploring and learning about different cultures. Keeping active through sport or activities is something I enjoy. I like to have fun and a bit of a party, but having a nice night in is equally as nice. Being openminded and respectful of other people is important to me and something I'm always aware of. I'm always seeking to learn more and ask questions to better understand the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and explore! I don't have much experience with CS just yet, but I'm so excited to get started and make some new friends, learn and share some new things.

Interests

I love water, especially the beach, and being outside doing things. I like to be active which includes running, swimming, body boarding, snow boarding, yoga. I also love food and even though I have a wheat-free diet, really enjoy trying tasty food and have a sweet tooth!
More indoorsy things I like are reading, watching movies, playing games and cooking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family and I visited our sponsor child in Vietnam just before she graduated from the sponsorship program. We were welcomed into her home by her family and enjoyed lunch with them and were lucky enough to see how the support we gave had helped changed the lives of her family. It was an incredible experience to finally meet them and for us all to enjoy each others company

Teach, Learn, Share

My French skills are there but I'd really like to improve them. I'd also love to pick up some Italian, German, Spanish, parts of any language really!
I love to join in on any kind of new activity or sport and give it a go.

I can teach a lot about the beach (I've spent a lot of time there), beach skills like body boarding and duck diving, general information about Surf Life Saving/ Lifeguarding.
I'm also a qualified swimming coach and teacher so can teach water skills and give stroke correction or fitness training!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughs, stories, all of the above and just a general nice time!
