About Me

Im from Los Angeles California, born and raised. Dad is from Greece and mom from Sweden. When I was 17 i lived in Greece for a little over a year. After going back to Cali I continued to travel more As the years went by, spending more and more time away from home. I've now been traveling for 10 years.

But now I'm on a world journey trying to find myself, meet people, explore cultures, try exotic foods and see all kinds of landscapes, all while pushing my self to do anything and everything, and to see how amazing the world is.

I haven't found a place that I haven't liked, nor a country I wouldn't enjoy living in for awhile. So I'm going to see as much of the world as I can before I turn 30.

On this trip I started in Sweden with my family, to meet extended family that I never knew I had.
I decided to stay, while my family all went back to California. I've now been in Europe for 3 years and still going strong. I now live in the south of Sweden and enjoy Sweden very much. I've met many people and glad to consider many of them friends!

I'm really into being healthy, with food, exercising and sports. I used to fence competitively but not so much since I've been traveling. I will be a vegetarian when I go back to the states, or if I decide to live in one place for awhile. But I can't really commit while visiting so many places because I wanna try it all. But with all that said I still like to party, and have a good time. I'm very versatile

I'm adventurous, energetic and very outgoing. I'm kind, caring, friendly, polite and respectful.
Independent, self motivated and clean.
I'm a Very positive person, with a great outlook on life and have a great sense of humor, so I'm sure we'll get along
Would love to meet you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling the world solo

Teach, Learn, Share

Can share awesome stories, teach fencing or a language. I can also help landscape your yard, teach you about all kinds of plants and trees that are healthy or medical or even help with anything around the house. I also play guitar so I can teach you that, or perhaps cook or teach some recipes and I'm a jack of all trades and always willing to earn my keep!
