I am Emilie!
At the moment, I am carrying out my postdoctoral training at the New England Biolab (biotech company) at Ipswich (MA, US). My research involves working on the evolution of symbiosis. My unstable but yet exciting job gives me the opportunity to travel all around the globe!

I am naturally curious and it is always exciting to discover new cultures and meet new people.

I enjoy drawing, cooking, running, climbing, canoeing, playing guitar… I guess I am a jack of all trades and master of none!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling alone does not scare me. I enjoy discovering a country instead of spending time alone in a hotel as it is not the most appealing way to discover a new place (and frankly depressing).

So, I just want meet people and share moments.
