I like chocolate -- all kinds! I haven't met a chocolate bar I didn't enjoy.

I dislike black liquorice but love all other kinds.

I love tea of all sorts – black, green, white, herbal. You name it and I will enjoy trying it out! My very favorites are unique herbal concoctions or anything with an "untraditional" tea bag :-)

I am a grad student, currently writing my dissertation. I have two cats and I love them dearly. I also love Pusheen the cat! I enjoy thrift shopping, especially when I find unique vintage items. My favorite era is mid-century modern – think Mad Men! The earthy tones of the 1970s appeal to me -- oranges, greens, browns, golds. I am a musician, and play the clarinet and piano. I love fashion and currently blog about personal style. I am a big fan of the Marvel movies (not the comics), and am a bit obsessed with Thor. Matt Smith is my Doctor. I speak Dutch as a second language, and I lived in the Netherlands for 5 years.
