I am a Greek architecture student, living in Athens and wanting to travel the world! I am the middle child of a lovely family with two other brothers. I like learning languages, wandering in cities and villages, and trying new food. I am involved in lgbtq activism, in Athens' vibrant youth community. I like swimming in the sea or enjoying a walk in a park. And I am usually up for a party ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always hosted friends of friends in the past, people who were looking for a place to stay and I hadn't met them before and I realised that it's a really great way to meet people from around the world! So I decided to join couchsurfing now, since a lot of people like travelling like that, and I want to be part of the community!

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE A HOUSEMATE NOW WHO IS NOT OK WITH HAVING STRANGERS OVER. I'm really sorry :(

I really like travelling but so far, I haven't tried anything very extreme or adventurous. Backpacking isn't very popular in Greece, so I never found the push I needed. But after living for a semester abroad and getting to meet wonderful people from around the world, I decided that I definitely have to travel more! And couchsurfing is a great way to meet new friends and locals, plus it helps make a journey longer :) So here goes!

Movies:
I watch a lot of them, but I can't remember a favourite. The last great movies I saw were Lobster, The handmaiden, The salesman...

But I will say this: I believe one of the most difficult genres is comedy. So my favourite comedies, I remember! Definitely The life of Brian, Mel Brook's The History of the World, Young Frankenstein. I am also a big fan of Edgar Wright's and Simon Pegg's work, as well as Seth Rogen's and James Franco's movies! Oh, and I love Michael Cera <3
