About Me

Hi, I'm Gabriel, 27 y.o.
I lived in Belgium for the past 4 years where I was an actor in a popular theater (popular meanning "to the people" not "famous"). Now I'm back in France and I urge to discover Greece and first Athens.
I'm easy going, I like talking and laughing. I can cook and I'll bring you a bottle of wine to cheer on my arrival.
I don't speak greek but I hope I will learn the basis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing for money reasons, obviously, but also in order to meet greek people, because I think you can't discover a city if you don't meet its inhabitants.
Since I'm back in france, I want to discover greece. Now I have time, so I took a plane ticket and I hope to be welcome in your country.
I'm looking for activities in which I could invest my time, helping local initiatives taking place in Athens.
Let's meet !

Interests

I've done theater since I'm 10 y.o. so obviously I love acting and playing games.
But I'm also very interested in politics. I like to understand how a country is politically organized, but mostly, how a people organize itself, how people live and interact. To observe those kind of things, the best way for me is to drink raki with someone who is in the mood for talking.
I also like reading, writing, cooking, walking, and having fun with nice people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rap and rock music. I like books that make me dream, movies that make me travel in fictionnal places, mind experiments and science fiction. I also like History when it is well written.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well the last real great experiment of mine before coming to greece is this.
I've lived and been an actor during one year in a very special theater.
This place was really public. It was open each day, for free, to anyone. Many people came to enjoy the daily show we made. People came to help us live by fixing the electrics, cooking for the 50 people living there, playing music at night, doing workshops on many things etc...
It was a very lively experiment. To me, it was an amazing year.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't know what I can teach. But we can enrich eachother's knoledge if we spend enough time together.
I'll share my joy of discovering new places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually take part in the living of the house. Buy food and cook a plesant meal for us to discover each others while enjoying it.
Anyway, I can make myself usefull and nice. I won't bother your usual life exept if you want me to.
