Hi, my name is Olivia. I’m 25 years old, and I am Belgian, Canadian and Luxembourgish by nationality. I recently completed my Masters degree in Chemistry, and I am currently taking some time off to travel and enjoy life before the start of my PhD.
I love traveling, meeting new people, having good conversations and learning about new cultures. I also love climbing, running, hiking, and in just in general being outdoors. I am also a big food enthusiast, and I am always very excited to try new things. In general I am a very positive person, I love learning new things, and I can find happiness in a lot of little things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting new people.
It is also a great way to travel on a budget, which doesn’t hurt.
But mainly It a great opportunity to travel somewhere, and meet some of the local people, and since I am travelling alone the company is very welcome!

Music, Movies, and Books

I find it very difficult to narrow down my tastes in music, movies and books to only one favorite. I like a very wide verity of music, the genres that I would tend to listen to the most are usually either indie, or hip-hop, but I enjoy pretty much everything. The same goes for movies, I love real life inspired movies, but I will watch pretty much anything. For books, I prefer novels. One the books I can really remember enjoying was Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydiving! I've done many fun things, but skydiving was definitely one of the most adrenaline inducing things I've ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and English, and I would love to take the opportunity to improve my Japanese. I can share my experiences travelling and encountering many different cultures, but I generally really like to have conversations about any subject, or life in general!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile, a positive attitude, and some good conversations!
