Overview
About Me
Hi there!
I am Pernelle, 25, coming from Belgium and currently based in London. I have graduated from a dance study in the Netherlands and I am now doing a PhD in Linguistics about the recognition of emotions in foreign languages and cultures.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As a PhD researcher, I need to travel a lot to conferences everywhere. So, I am often looking for a place to stay in different countries. This gives me the opportunity to get to know people from different cultures: this is something I'm super interested in, I've even chosen to research cultural differences (when it comes to communication). I hate judgements and prejudices, but sometimes I find myself thinking in a judgmental way, because I lack the knowledge to understand certain people's choice. So the more I'll know, the more I'll understand, the less I'll judge =D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Putting my career as a linguistic researcher on hold to undertake a dance study in Holland... and then (try to) squeeze both dance and linguistics in my life.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Unfortunately, I'm now living in a shared flat in London, so I cannot host that many people out of respect for my flatmates.
Every now and then, I make an exception, especially for dancers since I know how often dancers have to travel and how difficult it is to cover your costs as a dancer!
Countries I’ve Lived In
Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom
