Hi I'm Emma. I currently live in The Netherlands but I grew up in the Philippines. I love being creative. I like painting, nail art, SFX make up and baking new recipes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm taking two gap years before I start studying. I want to see new places and meet interesting people. I would love to explore different cultures and get shown around by locals. This is the perfect opportunity to make friends abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to is Regina Spektor, Aretha Franklin, Tame Impala, Mumford & Sons, Max Richter, Elvis Presley, Sia, Shakey Graves, Otis Redding, Alabama Shakes, Of Monsters & Men, BTS (K-Pop), Cage The Elephant, 21 Pilots, The Lumineers, Ingrid Michaelson, Sam Cooke, Carpenters, The Righteous Brothers and The Platters. I also love musicals.

My favourite movies are Moana, Mulan, Hua Mulan, Pocahontas, Tarantino films like Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Bastards, Kill Bill I & II, Django Unchained, Hateful Eight, A Little Bit of Heaven, Saving Mr. Banks, Joyeux Noel, Deadpool, The Young Victoria and Marvel Universe Movies.

I also love some series like Misfits, Sherlock, and Korean Dramas.

My favourite books to read are Sophie's World, Theo's Odyssey, Shakespeare, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, Hans Christian Anderson stories, Grim Brothers. I don't read a lot of books. I do enjoy looking through cook books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I'm doing now. I'm taking two gaps years to find myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to do nail art, special effects make up and some baking recipes.
I want to learn to become more independent and to travel on my own. I'm always open to learning new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and bake with the host and be good company. I am good with kids if the host has any and I like pets.
