About Me

I recently moved to Zurich to further my career as a certified massage therapist, following 4 years of holistic massage therapy practice in Athens and Monaco. Last year, I won 1st prize in the Wellness Massage Category at the Swiss Massage Championship, and I’ve recently become certified in classical massage in Switzerland, soon enabling my clients to get health insurance reimbursements for my treatments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I'm in the process of finding a permanent home in Zurich, I'm looking to connect with local members and share experiences. As a thank you for hosting me, I’d love to offer a short massage on my portable massage chair or prepare a dinner. I like deep meaningful conversations and a genuine exchange of good energy.

Always happy to learn a new unusual ingredient, food combinations, regional dishes or a new language. Other interests and activities: dancing salsa and bachata, laws of nature, meditation, trekking
