About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The only borders I know are from my imagination and I am ready to cross them in order to meet you

ABOUT ME

Best would be to talk about that in a café, a bar or by a fire on the mountain. I am currently living in Athens doing an Erasmus exchange. I travelled a lot and don't plan to change that. I like to feel the soul from everywhere I go.I am interested by music, art and craft because I like creation and exchange with the others. I am learning kaval, a flute from the balkans. I am very sensitive with music and rythm fom that area but not only :)

Last year I went back to university to learn anthropology and ethnomusicology and I love it !

PHILOSOPHY

I feel home everywhere

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to share what I know about my city. .

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting people was one of my most memorable moments in Paris.I often then discover things I didn't imagine their existance in my city

Interests

Really a lot... Everything that makes the moment living : music, art, talking, drinking best wines and beers, eating good tasty things. I like foreign languages because it opens you to a new way of thinking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every style of music except very commercial non creatif tubes but mostly oriental (Turkish and Arab) classical and folk music but also from also folk from everywhere, jazz, rock like Led Zeppelin, Balkan Rock like Bijelo Dugme,blues,blues-rock by exemple Rory Gallagher, baroque and medieval music. I love religious music like orthodox chants, Sufi music, or shaman music. I like creativity and am specially sensitive to a good fusion with world music like Goran Bregovic, Rabih Abou-Khalil and also French music as Jacques Brel, Les Têtes Raises...and a lot of other music. Talking about films and books I like those who take you in another world and make you live there so that you don't want to leave and are sad when the movie/book is finished.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play some jaw's harp... Culture, Traditions are always interesting to learn.
