About Me

Currently in Athens, volunteering in the squats around Exarchea helping women and children. Hoping to stay here much longer as I've fallen a bit in love with Greece!! Trying to learn some Greek and been wild camping in Creta and Agistri this summer for some much needed time out.

I'm a pretty relaxed, flexible kinda person- I love to meditate, do some yoga and love chats about the world with new people in new places. I'm an artist I play some guitar and I cook a mean thai veggie curry!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to see more of Athens, live in some new areas and make some connections with other arty, socially active, interesting people. I'd also love to improve my Greek, whilst living in a calm, homely space.

Interests

I've travelled a lot and lived abroad for many years. I've stayed on farms and retreat centres, house shares and volunteer programs. I consider myself to be a kind, considerate guest, sociable but also happy to give people their own space.
