About Me

* Everyday life can blur your view, keep on searching for new experiences *

I read a lot lately so i can finish my schools on History and Theory of Art fast and continue them in an other country.
I'm trying to keep my self active with yoga, ballet lessons and biking through the city of Athens.
The love for food, other people's habits and habeats, new landscapes are what mobilize my travel interests

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, at that moment i did it so i could be Couchsurfed, see i' m blocked and i need to get inspiration for an essay, so while i was walking to the kiosk to get some beers and cigarettes Venice poped up in my mind. And that's it.
Of course i respect others people similar will and I am willing to please their stay in my apartment

Music, Movies, and Books

As it concerns music it's the toughest question for me, i' d say it's about temper and timeless quality

Unfortunately, I left movies behind for a while because of a broken laptop screen, not moved by series (except broad city). I have seen Time of the Gypsies so many times that VHS broke also. The double life of Veronica affects me, also Cheap Cigarettes(greek), I like all Kubrick's films, as well as Wong Kar Wai's, Chan Wook Park's, Miyazaki's and i dislike Woody Allen. Also i like a lot of 1994's movies

Preferably, i read modernist writers books, like Tomas Mann's Death in Venice, James joyce's Ullyses. I fancy Voltaire's ironic perspective in Candide and the goth-eccentric character of Oscar Wilde in the portrait of Dorian Gray, the poems of T.S. Eliot and surrealistic poems, as those of Arthur Rimbaud

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ' ve been travelling from Nice to Alexandroupolis (Greece) with a really low badget, cause i booked my tickets a month after the date i was supposed to leave. I was planning the trip during the trip. It was the first time i missed my mom ( she still doesn't know about it). It lasted 4 days
