Hi I'm Emma

I love nothing more than traveling and experiencing new cultures. I have been to over 30 countries so far and hope to add a few more each year until the day I die! - I'll probably travel the world in a tiny house on wheels when I retire and pick up waifs and strays along my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing hoping to find hosts for this coming summer, although my location is completely unknown as yet. I sometimes plan the details but often I like to just book a cheap last minute flight and see what happens!

I currently live near Tynemouth with one other person, and my puppy. When the person I live with is away I can accept guests.

Interests

My main hobbies include scuba diving, skiing, snowboarding, traveling (obviously!), swimming, reading, cooking, photography, meeting new people and walks/runs with my puppy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music but mostly anything that is not over played and mainstream. Mostly trance, D&B, chillstep, liquid, jungle, reggae, buddha bar/lounge etc. Very much depends on my mood, there is a type of music for every mood! Comedies mostly. Travel stories and weird books - especially if they are in colloquial Scottish. I kind of wish I was Scottish. Irvine Welsh, Alan Warner.etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dive master in Thailand without a doubt. I lived on Koh Tao in a little beach hut for 6months and dived every day followed by sunset beers. Most amazing place I've ever been! Amazing sunsets every day without fail. Paradise!

Or Ski/board season was close second :)

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH- I've taught English to kids from 2 -15years old in Petchaburi province inThailand. I can help teach diving as a dive master.

LEARN- I want to learn everything I can about the world. I like trying new things.

SHARE - I always share my beer/vodka :) !

Stories, beer and hopefully laughs! Plus I'm tidy and polite as a guest haha
