About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience and appreciate as much as possible every day

ABOUT ME

I am a scientist, and everyday I try to discover new things. I like meeting new people and hearing their stories. I am always looking for new music to discover and new adventures! I want to travel everywhere and hope to set foot on all 7 continents in my lifetime (so far: 3 down, 4 to go).

PHILOSOPHY

Try as many new things as possible, and always find the positive side

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by attending meetings and meeting other CSers from around the world. I have hosted CS friends and stayed on a few couches as well, and every time has been amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love meeting new people in CS and learning about their cities and how people live. I love the open-ness and accepting nature of most CSers that I have met, it really reminds me of my other favorite community, Burning Man :-)

Interests

I recently started teaching myself to play the ukulele, and I absolutely LOVE it!! I also love watching live music (looking for good venues in Liege), reading, keeping in touch with friends via the internet, museums, knitting, pottery, cooking, belly dancing. Traveling and discovering new places and meeting new people is one of my favorite things to do, I am always looking for new places to discover!
