Hey! My name is Emmet, I'm an Irish student in European and Middle Eastern Studies. I'm currently studying in Morocco and will be spending my next semester in Paris. I have a blog that I hope will help students like me get prepared for their erasmus/study abroad experience: www.thestudentexplorer.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I think I local people can best help you understand their region and their culture. I rather stray off the beaten track and discover something authentic than follow a tourist trail and not see the true spirit of a country.

Interests

I love reading although I read a lot for college so I miss some good fiction books! I play the guitar and the ukulele. When I'm travelling I am really fascinated by local religious sites, I hope to see many on my travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always trying to improve my French so if you'd like to speak English we can do a language exchange!

I can offer my hosts good conversation (I hope!), some cheesy French jokes and teach them about Ireland and Irish culture.
