About Me

ABOUT ME

*** BREAKING NEWS: NO PERSONALIZED REQUEST WITH KEYWORD = NO COUCH !!! I AM NOT A FREE HOTEL***

WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO HOST YOU ??? Yes, why me? So, any general request WILL HAVE "NO" as an answer... If you don't try to read my profile and know me better, I won't make any effort to welcome you into my home!
DON'T WASTE MY (OUR) TIME, read this: http://couchwiki.org/en/How_to_write_a_couch_request and/or this: https://support.couchsurfing.org/hc/en-us/articles/200640010-How-do-I-write-a-good-couch-request-

I insist: This is NOT a house for partying, as I was young before, what you call "holidays" are for me my everyday life, so we don't go to sleep at 2:00 am anymore... (never did this, in reality, I had to prepare my Ph.D.)
Also: I am Miss Chatterbox, be advised! :)
Please see the description in "My Home" and the applicable rules. During the time of the year that my children are attending school, I am NOT AVAILABLE to spend much time with or chat with couch surfers, as my children come home at 4.15 pm and I need to take care of my son, who is disabled. During the week, when they have school, you should wake up at 7:00 am and leave the house at 07:30 am, at the latest (We cannot be late for school or work). This does not apply during the weekends, of course. In July and August, my children don't have school. I have a family, and we have "normal" working hours, so we have regular sleeping hours. We go to sleep around 23:00 (11:00 pm). That's why I cannot host people who will return to the house later than this, But if you love going out AND can be back at 23:00 (or earlier), you are very welcome.

Hi, I'm a spiritual psychotherapist (& also a spirit medium) and woman. I'm married, and I have two little children. I love RPGs, reading, and watching movies (mostly American ones), but I do not have time to do this because I must care for my children!

Web site www.psychotherapyspirituallyyours.com

Generally speaking, I'm inquisitive, and I also love discussing specific "secondary" topics (except for the one I have written below): military, armies, RPG, politics, economy, fair trade, vegetarianism, death penalty, societies, Paris' sightseeings, news, some movies, etc.
Keep in mind that I love my job, but I'm OK with people who are not fond of esoterism, life after death, reincarnation, and karma; I have other subjects to speak about, fortunately for you.

I kindly ask you not to ask me for a FREE fortune-telling reading with tarot cards since it's my job, and people PAY me to have this session. I think you can easily understand why.
If I can give you free psychological advice, I will NOT give you a psychotherapy session for FREE.

I'm not hosting now, (Εκτός από για τους Έλληνες), (кроме русских тоже).

PHILOSOPHY

( Greek )

"Θάνατος μαύρος αδερφός,
Θάνατος θα γίνω αθανατος"
(Ήρωες)

Requests in PM will be denied if they do not have the critical works written in my description ("my house"). If you don't even try to know me a little, why should I spend time hosting you for free? This is called "respect," and it goes both ways. I am not a free hotel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I often host, not surf.
But I can SOMETIMES host last-minute emergency couches. Still, you need to ask and request before on the group dedicated to (Paris's last-minute emergencies only 72h before or less) and have not received any answer.

CS is a great website to understand better people's hearts and how they are without spending money on a bed.
Even if you do not want a couch but only to meet locals, I will not answer any message if it does not contain the keywords (yes, you need to read my profile and my house).

Interests

Helping people is my job, but I also love talking with my friends, going to the restaurant (whenever I can), and playing RPG. I love medieval and ancient history. I also love reading about psychology, which is part of my work and my passion. I'm very interested in the military and polemology.

My first "love" is all about reincarnation, life after death, the soul's life, and so-called karma. I'm writing (in French) a book on this subject. The fact that it must be published is another problem I haven't solved yet! :) And that I must also finish it...

I have a Ph.D. in History, a Master in Psychology, and another Master in Modern Greek interdisciplinary studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Even if it was a huge mess, I hosted four couch surfers at the same time in my tiny apartment to not let them sleep in the street... (last-minute emergency)

- I also was able to remember the word "достопримечательности" !
