About Me

Hey people!
I'm Alexandra, 24, from Greece.
Travelling, meeting new people, having fun and discovering other cultures are some of the things that define me as a person!
I think that I was feeling this wanderlust since ever but by the time I lived in Rome, Italy, participating in the Erasmus programme, this need became bigger and more intense!
I'm a happy, easygoing, open minded, clean and respectful person.
I love to travel, to have a good laugh and I am the kind of person who is always in for an adventure!
I learned that I need to get out of my comfort zone to learn about life.
I love to dance and party and I tend to see the good things in life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to start a new phase in my life. My friends told me about cs and I'm sorry I haven't started it before.
I love travelling, meeting new people, the exchange of cultures and I would love to see your city through your perspective and hopefully I can show you around my hometown (Edessa or Thessaloniki, Greece) as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

uf! This has always been the most difficult field for me to fill in!
I like many kinds of music but I prefer to listen to the ones that you can dance with (cause I looooove dancing - any kind of dance xD )

Concerning the movies, something strange happens with me...even if I like watching them, everytime that someone asks me if I have seen this one or that one, I almost always give them a negative answer! But one of my favorite movies that I can recall right now, is the '12 Years a Slave' - yes, I prefer drama, social, adventure and...romantic (don't judge me by that hehe), I don't like science fiction and I hate thrillers (I'm too coward and scared of these things!)

Books...I'm not very proud of the amount of books that I have read, cause most of the times I was used to read books about my studies...But I promise here in public that I will fix that!:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh yes! Now I know! And I'm very proud of it haha
I've travelled alone with the interrail when I was 20 years old for 40 days! I've visited 4 countries (Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland) and 11 cities and I was being hosted mostly by friends of friends or relatives of relatives that I didn't know or people that I had met in the past during another trip...and now we are the best friends!
This was one of the most amazing and intense experiences of my life that grew me up, broadened my horrizons and took me out of my comfortzone!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some cool sentences in Greek and I can also talk to you about Logopedia (speech therapy) which is what I have studied! You will be the best Greek speaker. I can assure you!
Also, I can teach you some juggling tricks that I've learnt in the past, some dance steps with the music you like or if we have the time and the chance, I can offer you some tennis lessons!

Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom
