Hello dear stranger! I'm Elena. I'm really into photography, geeky stuff, asian culture, travelling , books and music.I'm really known as a non stop talker (in a good way..or so my friends tell me). I want to visit as many places of the world as I can. I will be really happy to help you experience our beautiful Athens or Athena as we call it here in Greece. Don't hesitate to contact me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before travelling around the world is one of my dreams. And you should always follow your dreams! Right??

Interests

Right now I'm a university student. I'm studying economics. Apart from school and hanging out with friends. I play the violin and piano (whenever I find the time to do so), instagramming as I said I'm really into photography, street fashioning, anime watching and manga reading, playing platform games (oldschool gal here) and last but not least dancing everytime i get the chance!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music really depends on the mood I'm in. From NWA to TLC, from Chopin to Coldplay, from Nirvana to Black Keys and so on...

As for movies i don't have a top ten but if i had to choose i would say: La vita e bella, Intouchables, Spotlight, Prisoners, The Big Short, Seven Pounds, White Chicks, Inception, Shawshank Redemption and list goes on and on..

Books huh? Hmm I like Yalom, I like Coehlo, i really like the series of books from Jo Nesbo like Cockroaches, Bat. I also like light reading like romance genred books, mangas and comics with Scrooge Mcduck and the gang.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was in the centre of Athens and while I was walking I noticed a man standind waiting to cross the street but as the lights went green and red over and over he wouldn't . As I walked closer to him I've noticed that he was blind. Many people passed by him but nobody helped him. It was in my opposite direction but I went to him and helped him cross the street. He was keep repeating how greatful he was and that he didn't often go out of his house but it was the reunion of his old collegues and friends (he was a retired lawyer) and he really wanted to go. It might not be an incredible task like swimming in a waterfall in March because of a bet(been there done that) but it really felt amazing helping Mister Dimitris that day!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is not easy or rosy all the time but if you deal with it with a smile on your face and always think of the glass half full you are already a winner. It might sound really cliche but don't give up and as my Koreans friends would say Aja Aja!!
