My name is Emile, I'm 32 years old and I'm from Utrecht, Holland. I love to travel to new places and meet people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last year I had my first Couchsurfing experiences in Iran and I loved it. It's a great way to get to know people and see some more than just the tourist attractions.

Interests

Travelling: visiting both cities and nature, meeting people and spending some time hiking and camping.

Cooking: I find it a very relaxing activity. I managed to reproduce some nice dishes that I had on my last trip which was in Iran :-)

Sports: Mainly cycling, running and hiking.
