I'M CURRENTLY TRAVELLING! I won't be at home for a few months.

Hi all!
My name is Damaris and I was born and raised in Chania, a pretty town in Crete. I have studied Special Education in Volos as a BA and Psychology and Education as an MA in the UK.

The last two years I have been living and working in London, but I left my house and job a month ago to go travelling for a few months in Latin America with my partner Tala, who is Palestinian. At the moment, we are in Colombia, and after that, if all goes well, we are visiting Ecuador and Mexico!

We would particularly like to connect with people who are in solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make meaningful connections with nice people from across the world, share ideas and culture! To create shared experiences and learn from one another:))
