I am Filippa Skarmoutsou and i am 22 years old. I love travelling all over the world and making trips to various destinations. I am in the National University of Athens and i study Turkology focused on the turkish language the history and politics. I love learning other languages (german ,turkish,english and i started spanish too) and learning about the world’s different cultures.You get to learn about a new place. It’s culture, it's traditions, it's history. You might even encounter a new language. You get to learn about the different kinds of arts and crafts associated with that place. For me travelling is the best way of gaining new perspective, new points of view about leading your life. You meet so many people along your journey and they all influence you in some way. I also like sports (cycling,hiking,rafting,running), camping and the nature.Music is also my passion because it creates strong feelings and it creates strong memories (i play the piano and like singing).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people all over the world,learn other cultures meet local ones and make new friends in order to learn each others experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing i have done was when i decided to travel to Ibiza to celebrate my birthday. I was with my cousin and my bro who are like my soulmates and we were in Valencia. We rent a car did the road trip until Altea and went for 2 days to Ibiza. It was the most amazing days of my life. We stayed to a hostel we were going to the parties like hippies did whatever we had in our minds. Trust your heart and live like there is no tomorrow!
