About Me

Oh God... this is awkward...

Okay, so where to begin? 27(aaaalmost 28 but not quite there yet so let's just all agree that age doesn't matter, shall we? :D)-year-old girl from Athens, Greece. Fluent in English and has spent a year in the very cosmopolitan city of London, where my interest in getting to know people from every corner of the world fully ignited.

I can literally chat your ear off... if you let me... but I can also be very quiet and respectful of your personal space, if that's the vibe you're going for.

If anyone's interested in talking politics, social issues, religion, gender issues, philosophy, existentialism, cinema, literature, music, dance, fitness, food, fashion, TV shows, Netflix, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Friends, Sex and the City.... anything goes. Seriously! No subject is taboo.

I also make historical documentaries for a living... so I could potentially join your pub quiz team... if you have one.

Aaaand that's pretty much it.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Anything and everything under the sun. As long as it has an interesting melody.

Movies: The Lord of the Rings trilogy when I was a teenager... then Fight Club when I was a rebellious university student... I am now too old and wise to believe it's possible to pick only one.

Books: Um..... see above? Also, Charles Bukowski!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?

Hah, just kidding! I'm really quite a boring person.

Um.... I managed to break two of my teeth while "head banging" to the old Spanish classic "Ecsta-si Ecsta-no" in a bar in Athens...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Greek, if you want... and Ancient Greek... but I doubt all of your are masochists, so maybe that's not so useful.

I can't really cook so that's off the table...

Well, I can definitely teach you history! And world politics. And show you where the best souvlaki in Athens is... also where the best beaches are.

But most of all, I'm just fun to be around! :P ;P

What I Can Share with Hosts

Seriously, if you're the kind of host that's looking for a buddy to break up the monotony and ask a million and one questions about your country, culture and personal life, I'm the best guest you'll ever have!

I'm also very clean, tidy, organised and very, I mean veeeery respectful of your space and time! I swear!
