My Name is Emmanuel, and I have spent my life travelling and living around the world, thanks to having two parents who work for the United Nations. I may only be 18 years old, but I have already lived in six countries. and travelled in, and explored many more. I am friendly and out going as a person, and I will never say no to an interesting discussion, be it about; art, literature, politics, or life in general. I am open minded by nature and I love learning about the lives, dreams, and interests of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a glimpse into the lives interesting people. To allow me to travel on a budget. To get to know the places I visit from the inside.
