PHILOSOPHY

I know only one thing for sure, that I don t know anything. -Socrates

Nothing endures but change. -Heraclitus

Life is like riding a bicycle.To keep your balance you must keep moving.-Albert Einstein

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky...
...You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one!

John Lennon-Imagine (try it, make it happen!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Cause life has more fun if you share it with friends from all over the world.
Well, I love to learn different cultures, new people and having new experiences! Actually, I also admire travelers..so it' s great to host people and open my place and exchange opinions about life.. To live, to love, to share, to learn! This is my way of living!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

-I 've met in Athens my friends Can and Ozgur from Turkey and realized that greek and turkish culture is very similar.
-I 've hosted Petteri from Finland during summer and felt proud about greek history and civilization.
- I 've hosted Piotr from Poland (but he lives in Canada) who learned me a lot of things about Polish and Canadian people and history and we had a lot of fun!
-I 've traveled with another couchsurfer and best friend, Nina to Morocco and Sahara desert (Algerian Sahara) and surfed two great guys, Mohamed and Kamal, who learned me a lot of things about respecting the difference and understanding the culture of Muslim people.
-I 've surfed the funniest man in Madrid, Jonas, and we had a lot of fun there, and also met his kind friend Javi.
-I met great people when I visited Paris who welcomed me from the first time and helped me with some sightseeing.
-I 've been hosted by Armagan in Turkey and I ve learned so many things about turkish culture, religion and had great time also with his friend Gokhan.
-I 've met Margarita and Chrysostomos in Izmir, two amazing and funny couchsurfers and we shared our travel experiences and we keep drinking all night long.
-I 've participated in a couchsurfing meeting in Turkey and met really wonderful and active people who shared their experiences and their dreams. They were so warm that I felt so familiar! We went to a bar and then to a karaoke place where we spent the whole night partying and having fun.
-I ve hosted Endah from Ireland and Liah from New Zealand, loved the Irish mythology and sense of humor and learned a lot of things about the amazing nature of N.Z.

About reading..well I really don' t know from where to begin.. I love reading, especially about maths and physics and generally I like scientific books, but also I love literature and poetry, actually my best writers are Kavafis, Frantz Kafka, Arthur Rimbaud, Ernesto Sabato, Oscar Wilde... Actually I love french surreal literature, poetry and art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, last November I have visited Sahara with two great couchsurfers and while we were in the middle of the desert we had a problem with our jeep.
Fortunately, we met Beduins who gave us food and a place to rest and sleep..that was an amazing experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I ve got room for two travellers at least. I ve got two dogs in the house so if you are allergic it would be better not to apply for a couch.
