About Me

I am freelance photographer based in Crete Island. After the couchsurfing turned to payment policy, my account was inaccessible for a few years.. sorry if i missed any messages & requests. Send me a request if you're willing to explore hidden location/gems on the island..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is a surf.. and couchserfing is more than you can imagine, that was my "moto" few years ago, before they turned on "the payment condition" - but its a fact, I met great people, amazing personalities, kind & hospital everywhere i was travelling - thats a great value in life. Through the international society of CS, i had the chance to join the local way of life & enjoy the originality.

Interests

Cinema it's my main interest after photography (work). Also like to meet new people, having conversations etc.

Obsessed with psychotherapy books the last few years, like Irvin D. Yalom and more.

I also like to walk/trekking in different locations, exploring natural environment or urban cities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My last amazing experience was visiting Lesvos island, in order to photograph & volunteer the refugees crossing the borders of Turkey to Greece by boats. In a very short time, i had the chance to feel so much energy, meeting all these international volunteers & helping people from Syria, Afganistan, Kurdista to arrive safe and keep on their journy for a better life.

Another importan point in my life was meeting a very special american photographer, before he passed by. I work like assistant for him & i had the honor to be captured by him. Visit his work at www.voelkerstudio.com/.

I like to talk about art, photography, movies, psychology and other existential subjects. I am also interested in cooking, but definitely i love sweets.
