My name is Emma and I am from Denmark. I have been a girl guide since I was 10 years old (I am 21 years old today). One thing that always surprises me is the community that you get to be a part of as a girl guide. When I was younger I loved participating in weekend trips and camps. There, I got to do things I wouldn’t be able to do elsewhere, like building with spars, climbing, hiking and making camp fires. The best part of it all was that I got to all of it with my best friends. Now that I’m older I get to explore and learn about the world as a girl guide, going on different courses, camps and trips. I love being outdoors and hiking is one of my favourite things to do. Especially if I can hike to a waterfall or the summit of a mountain. (That is not possible in Denmark because Denmark is flat). The thing I am looking most forward to at Our Chalet is to make new friends, and to create some amazing memories in the Swiss Alps.
