Hello!
I am George from Thessaloniki, Greece. I am 19 years old and i am studying mechanical engineering at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the largest university in Greec. I play basketball for more than 10 years now and it is my favorite hobby, besides travelling. I am also working in a nice restaurant downtown as a waiter in order to support rent as i live with my best friend in the centre of Thessaloniki.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

3 years ago i started participating in youth projects all over Europe( European Youth Parliament) and these sessions totally changed my mindset and made me wanna travel all around the world. Unfortunatelly, hotels can be expensive, but boring also. Travelling to a foreign country where you don't know anyone can be dazzling. So couchsurfing, not only gives you the opportunity to be hosted for free, but also gives you the viewpoint of a local. This way you can explore every city the best way possible. Vice versa, it is an incredible feeling to be able to host someone and give them all those pro tips about your own city and offer them a true and deeper experience, not just as a casual tourist.
