About Me

I'm an introvert who's more comfortable with animals and plants than people. I'm not the life of the party, unless there's a cat in it.
I love drawing, cooking, and spending time in nature, whether it's trekking, camping or pretending to be a mermaid in any body of water I can find. I'm eager to learn Italian, embroidery, macrame and candle making, among other things. I'm not on any social platform, except Pinterest obviously.
I’m open-minded, antifascist, feminist and vegan for the animals, and I ideally look for common ground with others. These might make me sound like a walking TED talk, but I tend to keep to myself if I sense significant differences in values. Being fair and kind are the words I want associated with me the most.
I always respect house rules and leave everything as I found it. I'm super clean and tidy, and I have experience living with various flatmates from around the world.
I'm the museum type of traveller and sometimes a total tourist. BUT I'm also into getting lost and exploring hidden beauties off the beaten path. And interested in the underground culture as well. I would love a local to guide or join me. In return, I can cook, help organise anything and, most importantly, provide endless photos of my cat 💖

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a sometimes solo traveller, I seek safe spaces, with female or LGBTQ company.

Currently living in a small apartment in Athens and not having the space for accommodation, unfortunately.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mainly darkwave, gothic rock, and post-punk. But, depending on the mood, I enjoy other kinds as well, such as alternative, metal (basically everything except black and thrash), indie, new wave, post-rock, reggae, trip-hop, etc.

Books: Poe, Kafka, Camus.
I really started reading in the past couple of years, as I had given up before because of my ADHD.

Movies: Everything Tim Burton, Guillermo del Toro, Jim Jarmusch, Stephen King. Your typical goth, but secretly a romantic and also a crybaby with films like Lost in Translation and Studio Ghibli films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uhm. Survived?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm actually a great cook. And listener, I think. I usually prefer listening than speaking. Except if you're a cat and so I have to constantly praise you.
