About Me

I'm Cypriot, studied and lived in England for a while and now in Lebanon.
I like interesting philosophical conversations but I also like exploring nature & new places. I find people's habits and ways quite fascinating so I would say I'm a people's person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see couchsurfing as a way to visit countries through a more insightful way than staying at a hotel. It gives you the chance to meet new people and see people's personal spaces which is amuzing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free fall?
Off a cliff in Cyprus

Then again, volunteering with kids in a refugee camp tops it.

Teach, Learn, Share

All of the above.

I learned and taught Pilates for a while, then English to Palestinian & Syrian refugee children, sharing my experiences on my blog and more, everyday little teachings, learnings, sharings.
