About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having and sharing dreams when I'm awakened because the day is a much better time to live our dreams. Let's spend the nights just resting or doing something better!

ABOUT ME

"Carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary." I might have been the young boy who listened to these words and, since then, is always trying to explore life and learn the most he can from it. There are many ways to discover the little secrets of this World and I think that climbing mountains, watching the sunset and provoking smiles are my favorites by far.

If you have any doubts, please ask me for more information.

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to create my own philosophy right now. By now all I can say is that I can't live without smiles and energy to fight for my dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am spreading the hospitality culture everywhere I go for those who have a good heart.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted by the best and most interesting Couchsurfers around Europe...

I have not hosted as much as I would like to because I still don't have a place of my own...

I'm also a bit famous in Greece (I had my 15 minutes haha).

PS. At that time I was nervous, very young, had a very creative haircut and when I said I felt like home I didn't mean my actual bed was a couch! If you also understand greek, don't take into account my misunderstood about the Acropolis. I was tired and sick when I told Vanesa that! =p

Interests

+ Exploring the nature is a must (no wonder why I've got a degree in Biology). Hiking, jogging, camping or just travelling for some park, mountain or beach is always a good option.
+ I also love to be part of projects that help improving the World and the communities I am part of.
+ Spending my time with my friends, no matter where or how is a priority too (as long as I can laugh and feel like home).
