About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy and learn from every moment

ABOUT ME

A few months ago I took the decision to come back to my hometown after years of traveling and living abroad. I teach English and German in an academy and some yoga too in my spare time. Whenever we have the chance, my girlfriend and I like to visit different places in Spain. We both would love to go to India soon to spend some time there to learn more about yoga and meditation, and to get to know amazing people on our journey.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, overcome your fears, shine, be yourself, stay away from what hurts you , be happy, be you, evolve, live, enjoy, think!...but not too much! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couldn't think of traveling without CS. It is not only about places, but also people. People I'm looking forward to talking to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed some places in Mexico and got amazed by people's hospitality there.

When I lived in North America I had the chance to surf a couple of couches in Vancouver, Squamish and Victoria BC. Canadians took good care of me. Really nice.

A few summers ago, a friend and I got to know better about the Greek current situation thanks to our kind hosts in Athens.

In Asia, I visited Nepal, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China and Japan. In these places, I had the chance to stay with very friendly and warm people. It didn't feel like being so far from home!
