About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm collecting fresh flowers-I'm tossing anything too tight-I like second hand furniture and clothes-I believe that Bing Bang theory is the best show ever-I'm keeping my chin up-I adore everything that has to do with the 50s and 70s-I cherish chewing ice cubes-I'm always loosing my socks-the best way to travel is by car and train-i'm planning to make a 4 week road trip to the US when I have the appropriate money and company-photography is my favorite hobby (cooking and eating weird dishes is my second one)-love beetle cars and old safari jeeps-pineapple is the best fruit ever-nothing better that riding my bicycle in a summer afternoon-as Epicures said friendship is the most important gift in life-on boring mornings I like surfing through blogs-I'm like a sailor sailing the waves and a mermaid waiting someone to love her-a silly romantic and a daydream believer-I am a tea addict who also happens to like whiskey and red wine-I love any kind of animal-I love love love love nature (and camping)-nothings works better than a huge hug and a warm a generous smile-I'm an animal lover-I'm a little bit clumsy-and shy-I want to experience for once in m life great cold and great warm weather-there are some periods when I decide to do nothing and stay at home reading books (nothing smells better than an old book)and see like 5 movies (I'm a classic film junkie).

Ok,these are some pieces.It's not the whole puzzle.What I can say about myself within a real sentence is that I don't have a clear view of myself.I am still building the puzzle.When it's complete I'll let you know.

PHILOSOPHY

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. (Christopher McCandless)

Live by the sun,Love by the moon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I don't have a house of my own yet (unfortunately) so I live with my parents (who are really cool and amazing people,though).There is not enough room in the house so,whoever comes to Athens can come and visit me for a hot cup of tea or coffee and delicious homemade pancakes.However,since I am a travel person,I'll always look for a couch.

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
Douglas Adams,the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy (beggining)
