Overview
About Me
I'm a pathologist leaving in Thessaloniki. My life turns around psychology, art and humanism! I love any kind of art, i've been involved in theater performances, have done concerts and always enjoy painting! My biggest love is music, the best way on earth to express yourself and meet other people and cultures! Currently I spend the biggest part of my daily life volunteering, i've worked with children on the autism spectrum, and now I'm involved in Positive Voice, and ThessCheckpoint, an HIV prevention center. The purpose of my life is to constantly do whatever I'm able to in order to help people live easier lives. i want to "change the world" by making people around be a little happier!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have a nice couch to share but that's the least! I want to meet people from different cultures, because the real culture can't be taught by books. I want to travel to many countries, see interesting places and meet cultures and traditions that are unknown to me.
Of course I'm very interested in hosting people, too! I want to share my home and every information and knowledge I have about my culture and my city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most beautiful sea:
hasn't been crossed yet.
Our most beautiful days:
we haven't seen yet.
(Nazim Hikmet)
I can't tell a specific thing that I've done....
The most amazing thing in my life is that I've "earned" great people around me and I've learned to always carry on no matter what.... Actually, my life is the most amazing thing I've done!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you my language (of course), and maybe some other languages if you want to, to cook my specialty "kous-kous" (it is quite easy actually, but still....), generally anything that I know and you are interested in learning (even knitting!)
I want to learn how everyday people in other countries are and leave despite every government and stereotype!
I can share.... almost anything you ask me to (on the condition that I have it :P)
