Hey! My name is Emmanuelle. Originally from Switzerland, I grew up in 6 different countries thorough Central America and West Africa. I am very enthusiastic about discovering new countries and people. Currently I study Environmental Sciences in Zürich and I am now heading for new adventures in Rotterdam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to discover new places, and exchange with other travelers or people from the place I am interested in.

I'm a novice of Couchsurfing, but really look forward to have good experiences trough this precious way of traveling and sharing !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently sharing a magnificent old house with 12 amazing flatmates -coming form the circus, theater, mechanics, film...- in the center of the beautifull Zürich old town... so I am having a fantastic experience every day!

I have lived in very different and amazing countries, and love going away for a few weeks to remote places (Siberia, the Arctic... dreaming of Central Asia!). Recently I've spent 3 months in a research center in the Arctic to study the effects of pollutants on the wildlife.
