About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life to the max!

ABOUT ME

Hmm all about me..., where do I start? This is like the worst question, rrrr..., Ok my friends say I am crazy, easygoing, friendly and joyfull as well as stuborn, and temperamantel (that's part of my greek culture I suppose!). I am enthusiastic about taking new challenges in life, adventurous, curious. Simple and complex, selfish and altruist, shy and extrovert, all and none of the above.

PHILOSOPHY

Dzogchen or "Great Perfection"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first started couchsurfing in 2008 and found it fascinating. I host from time to time and have surfed for a good year during 2009/2010 while travelling around Asia/Australia. I also participate in CS meeting and other social events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive++++++++! Couchsurfing yeaaaa, let the good times roll :)

Interests

I love nature, travelling and meeting people from everywhere, learning foreign languages and cultures. I am also sporty and tried all sorts of stuff like sailing, skiing, yoga, swimming, kick boxing, wind surfing etc. And last but not least I love socialising, partying, going to gigs, cinema, theater, art galeries. Recently re-started playing the guitar which I quit some years ago.
