About Me

I'm a university student studying music in Corfu, and I own a small jewelry business with boho jewelry.

I'm a very calm but quite adventurous person who enjoys learning new things and meeting people from around the world. I love helping others as much as I can, and after my studies I want to travel and volunteer around the world. I value personal space and spending time alone, but at the same time I really like meeting new people from other cultural backgrounds.

I have a tendency towards arts and sports, I'm creative and energetic, and I love to share my energy with others. I believe that imagination and creative thinking is very important when it comes to problem-solving and everyday life matters.

I'm a nature enthusiast and when I feel stressed I always seek a place near the sea, or seeing the view from the top of a hill. I think it's really important to connect with nature as a way to explore your inner needs. Sometimes you can find peace through the smallest things that are always there, but you might not notice. We live such fast-paced lives and I think it's important to slow down and connect with our inner rhythm.

At the moment I can't host, but I'll be able to in a few months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and exchanging ideas with people from around the world. I think this platform offers a different kind of travelling, because you get to connect with people and not just visit sightseeing, and I'm up for it.
I started solo travelling last year and it has been a great source of inspiration for my works and living my everyday life as well. I want to connect with new people and experience life from different perspectives.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a musician I pretty much listen to all genres. Some of them are: country, rock, rap, ballads, indie, pop, latin, soul/funky soul, cinematic music, classical music, and many others.
As a kid I was a major book lover but growing up I stopped reading as much as I used to. I'd love some recommendations though!
I love many different kinds of movies, and I love watching series as well. I love Hayao Miyazaki's works, old cinema, Her, Rosemary's Baby, Phantom Thread, some works of Tarantino, Kubrick, Scorsese Kurosawa, some more movies like Brokeback Mountain, Star Wars, Interstellar, almost every Disney movie, Coco, many anime series and the list goes on and on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you music (theory, guitar basics, music interpretation, sense of rhythm, basic vocal exercises, how to write music), teach you Greek, and help you practice Greek (and English), show you (and cook) Greek and healthy recipes (many of which I created) and have long conversations.

I'm very interested in learning about new cultures and practicing my Spanish. I love learning new things, and listening to stories.

Bring some of my handmade jewelry.
Bring local greek products.
Teach you music.
