Completing my Ph.D. while still being able to travel, make friends and have adventures in my spare time

ABOUT ME

I lived ½ year in Paris and ½ year in Brussels, and since then I've been strongly drawn towards anything international. My small, introverted home country gets rather boring after 20+ years, so I'm doing my best to make international friends, go abroad often, and maybe even move abroad again one day for a shorter or longer time period

PHILOSOPHY

"Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy" - H. L. Mencken

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far, I have only used couchsurfing for events. I took part in quite a few of these (2-3 a week for like 4 months) when I lived in Brussels (spring 2014). Since then I've been very busy. Recently, though, I have gotten a proper apartment (rather than a dormitory) so I may be able to host people from time to time. I'm also trying to get into the habit of attending events here in Copenhagen - just because I'm in my native country doesn't mean I don't want to make international friends
