My name is Emma Kampherbeek, I’m 23 years old, and I’m Dutch. I really like sailing, which I did every weekend until till this year. I also gave sailing lessons every weekend. Now I still give sailing lessons and sail myself during the summer holidays, but life gets too busy now to keep doing it during the weekends.
I just started my masters in Animal Sciences. Last year I took a gap year between my bachelors and masters in which I spent 4 months in Montpellier (France) trying to learn French and 4 months in Madagascar to teach English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
