About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to live my life and not just survive through it.

ABOUT ME

I am usually laid back, but I'm also energetic when the mood hits me. I would describe my self as an alternative in various ways which I can't elaborate in a few words. I'm always nice to people and I love having that returned to me. I spend much of my time training capoeira, I've lived almost my entire life in my hometown Heraklion. Also I love cats.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to live my life and not just survive through it
I always try to work part timer so I can have more time for my self. I like to make the best of it without having to depend on money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There will be times my couch will be available and times it will not. But when it is not I'll always be looking forward to help people get around in town, recommend places to go and spend some time together with them. In return I wish nothing more than to share a bit of them selves and their culture with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Capoeira, a martial art I train, we have a very bonded community. That means that if someone from our group who is in germany or spain (and vice versa) for example wishes to come to greece for seminars, events or even just for vocations, we will give him a place to stay and help him get around. Pretty much like couchsurfing. So far I have hosted several people from Germany, and have been hosted both in Germany and in Spain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

C A P O E I R A

Teach, Learn, Share

I know my country from the both the good side and the bad side. And I'm willing to tell you the whole story. I like being objective on everything before I share my own opinion. I also like talking about culture, and ways of life.
Also if you happen to be a martial artist I'm willing to share knowledge and would love to expect the same.
Apart from those above, I generally support freedom of knowledge so I'm willing to share everything I have to offer and as said earlier, like to be shared the same. Expiriences, stories, culture, everything.
