About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and meet new people and cultures, smile more :)

ABOUT ME

Traveling was always my dream. Meeting new people, make friends, exchange ideas, take and give back in return...

I hope I'll never think that I know everything in life, and I'll always be open to learn and accept new things :)

PHILOSOPHY

The journey is more important than the destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch Surfing has really changed my life. All of my guests were special people, and I was lucky to have them. Each and every one of them had something to teach me, from how we make a new sauce, to a different perspective on life.

Although all my CS experiences were positive, there were cases were I instantly clicked with some surfers and till now I consider them friends and really miss them.

My everyday life changes completely when I m active as a host, and although it takes time, energy and sometimes you have to go out of your way, I strongly believe it's really worth the try.

I don't really have big experience as a guest myself, but I hope this will change in the near future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped Luna, my cat, deliver her kittens. It was an amazing experience that i will never forget.

Another experience I dont think I will ever forget (but surely I would prefer not to repeat), was the 15 hours of waiting between flights in Malpensa airport.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach someone how to prepare Tzatziki (a favorite Greek appetizer -search for it on my fotos-), and how to prepare a traditional Greek coffee, how to make a cat behave (or at least try to), how to get rid of negative energy, how to plant a flower, how to prepare Moroccan mint tea and how to play backgammon.

I would love to learn the basics of foreign languages (swearing included lol), new recipes (especially traditional ones), and more about different cultures.

I would love to share music I love with people and hope they bring their favorite music too. If you want to bring a gift, a burnt copy with your favorite compilation would be great:)
