I’m Emma! My heart is Irish but I live in Switzerland. I’m taking a few months off from the busy working life to discover the world, meet new people and have some adventure with my better half, Dominik. Hoping to make lots of new friends in the process and to gather lots of ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first couchsurfer moved in with me and we became best friends in the end. Can you think of a better reason? :)

Interests

I like to go jogging, to keep fit. I like to play badminton when I have the chance. Skiing is also one of my favorite hobbies - especially at this time of year in Switzerland! I love to go hiking in the summer too. I guess you could say I love being outside and being active. In saying that, you can also find me being lazy with a book, a good series or some crochet. I also like to paint, but I haven’t taken out my paint brushes in a while...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, movies and books... well, I love all three! Might also need to add podcasts to this section. Music-wise, a bit of everything, depends on my mood... The last two books I read were “rooftops of Tehran” and “reading Lolita in Iran”, both of which have made me even MORE eager to visit his interesting country!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve a diploma in reflexology. Let me rub your feet! ;)
I can also cook quite well and like to experiment. I hope to learn lots of cooking tips on my journey!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I’m a good story teller, it’s part of the package of being Irish.. so look forward to some stories. I would love to speak English with you, cook with you and bring you some Swiss chocolate (the best!!!)
