Hi! My name is Emil, I grew up on the dark streets of Karlstad in Sweden and I've been faced with tough challanges every day since I was born. I'm just joking, growing up for me was easy with amazing parents always supporting me and my decisions. I'm a positive guy with a rather chill attitude. I like meeting new people and hearing stories about other peoples' lives. I like cooking, learning new things and I usually find music to be soothing. I'm currently studying to become an English teacher, I've studied abroad in China, Xi'an, but I don't know a whole lot of Chinese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people basicly. To find people when I'm traveling and to help people traveling.

Interests

I find many things interesting, I'm usually open for new activites to see if they grasp my interest. However, things I already know that I'm enjoy are: photography, cooking, traveling, meeting new people and teaching people new things. I like sharing my stories and hearing what other people have experienced.
