About Me

I love being in the mountains 🏔
I have a private pilot licence and can fly a small aeroplane 🛩
I practice capoeira and have also done karate and kung-fu in the past.
I sometimes meditate. I'm vegan 🌻
I ride my bicycle around Athens and I rent bikes where I travel 🚲
Did I say I love excursions to nature?
My longest trips were to Alaska and Nepal 🗻🗻🗻
The hardest journey is understanding myself, still a long way to go 🌙

Philosophy:
Be responsible.
Think global, act local.
It will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
Don't get stressed about things I can't control.
Sharing = happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting new perspectives is crucial for a good life as it creates perspective for our current life. I want to help travellers and learn other people's stories.

There's also this quote from the movie Waking Life: "You haven’t met yourself yet. But the advantage, to meeting others in the meantime is that one of them may present you to yourself".

I've hosted more than 30 people, all sorts of nice people that I wish I could meet again.
Couchsurfing is to me all the friends I haven't met yet ;)

Interests

Hiking, flying (me flying the plane, not being a passenger), indie video games, world travels, meditation, kung-fu, animal welfare, environmental issues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First time hosting people at home. They are a couple so I let them have the bed while I sleep on the floor next to that. I realize I have two strangers sleeping, on my bed, next to me. We hadn't met until a few hours before. We met, we laughed, we went out, they bought me a drink. Friends I hadn't met yet...

Also... I've been to Alaska and landed on a glacier in a small homebuilt aircraft (Super Cub).

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share food. What vegan meal can we cook together?
