About Me

Good day sunny shiny like-minders !

In general my main characteristic are: polite, positive, calm, straightforward, respectful, flexible, sincere, agile, versatile, always striving to learn and offer, enjoy play and being part of a team, eternal lover of films / music / yoga / animals / theatre / cultures.
These days I am at a phase that I question everything - as I like doing anyhow, only this (too) warm summer it's different as I am making it practically, as in changing/ breaking the patterns, if that makes sense.. Preparing to leave home town Athens soon and make space for new experiences and POVs (once a filmmaker-always a filmmaker).
I am very interested in sustainable living, human rights and (personal and corporate) social responsibility and would really like to put my communication, organisational and visual skills into these sectors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in energy flow and interaction, consciousness, mobility and development.
Is there any other way in life other than movement ? "Panta rhei" - Heraclitus. Luckily the wise ones can also remind us :)
I have ten years -or more- of hitchhike & free camping experience (I know its illegal, I praise morality above laws though in some cases). I very much got to enjoy and identify with the community teamwork, the bonds that unite same-minded spirits, the benefits of the nature and the time off from cities. I really like hosting people and their four-legged friends (we had a set of canaries and a Great Dane once :) ) as a means of exchanging cultures, communication, offering a little something to a fellow traveler, friend in need, having a nice meal and chat.

Interests

I am very all-encompassing, so I can get into everything basically and interested to do so. My loves are my Weimaraner, called Elsker (with whom we spend a lot of time together) films, music (80s, cold wave, electro-pop, some rock, Nick and Blixa are the men <3, some ethnic/ nature/ jazz), yoga, aerials (trapeze/ hoop) animals, theatre, languages.
Nowadays I am looking into volunteering at a farm and learning more about permaculture and horses and developing my French and German language skills.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nick Cave, Einstürzende Neubauten, Velvet Underground, Leonard Cohen, Grauzone, La Femme, Mary and The Boy, Moderat, Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, Nicolas Jaar, The B52s, Bach, Wagner, Belle & Sebastian, Bill Callahan, Blue Daisy, Gold Panda, Brian Eno, Chopin, Coco Bryce, Dimlite, Apparat

I can go on forever, won't even start on Movies & Books, let's have something to talk about in person :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Born in a country that does not exist any more.
Been in a new developed district that was not yet on the google-maps, in Paris!
Hhmm fell down too many times and got up all of them +1, sane and stronger ? Realising my dreams!
Raising Elsker, single dog-mummy ^.^

Teach, Learn, Share

Mi casa su casa, I am willing to offer and receive whatever there is to exchange: recipes, food, languages, dreams, yoga, Elsker for playing and cuddling (he saved my life once, he would do that for you too!), photography, filmmaking, positiveness
