About Me

I want to travel, meet new people and learn about different cultures from all over the world!I always try evolving and becoming a better person by interacting with others, exchanging ideas, reading, sharing and giving, loving, living! Love and Peace!

Philosophy
If you don't take risks, you can't create a future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an amazing way to travel and meet people from all over the world. It offers you authentic experiences by getting in touch with locals and be part, even for a little, of the 'life' of the place that you visit, knowing and learning things and visiting places that you wouldn't be able to find by yourself as just a tourist. You can meet awesome people and have conversations, spend time together, share and exchange ideas.

I have been hosting travelers even before I was on Couchsurfing. Hosting people, helping them, making them feel comfortable and welcomed and suggesting things to do, is something that I love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Greek (and mathematics if by any chance you have the mood for it :-p )and propose to you Greek music to listen. I can talk for hours about films and books and I can also suggest to you concerts, activities, festivals that take place during your stay.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my home, my company and show you around. We can cook together, have conversations about various subjects and of course drink!
