I'm Greek and I recently graduated from uni with a MSc in Environmental Sustainability. I love travelling and exploring new places as I get the chance to meet new people and discover cultures. I've travelled to a bunch of countries and I've stayed/volunteered for a few months in Thailand and Costa Rica. At the former I taught english to school children and to the latter I took part in a turtle conservation project.

I like all kinds of food and I'm also a decent cook (none of my friends have ever complained!), even though I think baking is my specialty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a graduate trying to explore the world on a budget :') I also love meeting new people and exchange stories and experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't say the words "favourite books" because it would feel unfair to all the amazing things I've read. Some of the books that I really enjoyed reading were:The Secret History, The Glass Palace, Elisabeth is Missing and The Vegetarian.

The same goes for the movies. I really enjoyed the Woman in Gold (really underrated film), we are the millers(we all need a bit of comedy in our lives).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 4 months in Thailand teaching English to kids in primary school. Both teaching them and living with a local host family were priceless times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you small greek phrases as well as cooking/baking recipes.

I'm eager to learn new languages, hear travelling stories and I'll pay attention to pretty much anything that's interesting. I'm believe in active listening.

I can share travelling tips, any food I make and fun facts you're interested in. Sharing is caring!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Books! I usually travel with one or two in my bag :) I also have some amazing stories from my travels, like the time I ate a spoonful of garlic thinking it was scrambled eggs. Yes, mistakes were made. I can also share some awesome Greek recipes!

I can also cook and bake to a decent level, so I'd love to cook for a host :)
