"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide

Lawyer working for the Greek Ministry of Finance. I have lived and studied two years in Germany ( plus 6 months in Zürich, Switzerland) as a postgraduate law student. People consider me a friendly, open minded, kind, educated and easygoing guy. I immensely enjoy reading, travelling, meeting new people, making friends and exchanging different cultural backgrounds. I am here primarily to honour the values of Couchsurfing: welcoming, offering and sharing without asking anything in return... Politeness is a virtue, mutual trust a necessity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To communicate with people from all around the world . To create deep and meaningful connections with people. As Jean-Paul Sartre said, "there is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk".

Interests

A special preference for architecture ( from Le Corbusier to Herzog et de Meuron), literature, art, classical music , Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig and Ingmar Bergman
