CURRENT MISSION

To live live to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

Hi there!
My name is Pia, I am from Denmark, but live in Calgary, Canada right now, where I am doing my PhD.
I love to travel and meet new people and live life to the fullest. I am mostly a happy person, very comfortable being me and very independent - I easily find things to do. I like to laugh and be with good company - but I also enjoy my downtime from time to time. I am quite frank and speak my mind, guess it's the Dane in me ;-) The western culture has grown on me and - to my friend's and family's amusement - I like to go to small town rodeos, listen to country music, etc. Anything else - just ask :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Be true, to your self and to people around you. Never lie, always tell the truth. Try to be a better person and to be there for people who needs it. We never know when this ride is over, so enjoy the roller coster for it's ups and downs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live on a farm just outside Calgary - about 20 minutes from downtown, where I have a sofa in my living room that I can offer.. It's not a double bed, but it's definitely a place to sleep. There is lots of place outside and I have a tent that I could easily put up if more room is needed. I am willing to share kitchen and bathroom of course... I can offer rides into Calgary pending on my schedule, and there are busses that goes to Banff etc from there. If I have time, I would like to tour-guide a bit... At times I am fairly busy, so you would have to be independent and not mind venturing out on your own. I have a dog, Rocky, that is very friendly and well behaved :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any experiences yet, but will update as they come :-)

Interests

I really love my job, I am curious about science and find it important me to make a difference in life - even though it might be small... I enjoy cooking, wine, good company, friends, my dog (chocolate lab, Rocky) going horseback riding, hiking, camping, swimming, biking, watching movies, books, and music. And a whole lot more that makes life worth living :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like comedies, romantic movies, action movies, dramas. I listen to country music, pop and some softer rock. I love reading books and have in the last year or two discovered audio books, so I listen in the car, at work, cleaning etc to books when I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once went to the Filippines, and went on a night dive. I saw the luminescent plancton, and that was amazing!
I am also awestruck every time I go to the Rocky Mountains, either it's just driving through, hiking or strolling. They make me feel so small and unimportant.
