CURRENT MISSION

Working, trying to shape up and heal my knee so I can run again :)

ABOUT ME

People who know me well, would say that I am an openminded and openhearted, Philhellenic history freak, a cosmopolitan, a cat lover, a warrior by heart, a martial artist, a polyglote, a pensive, warm and generous person, a good listener and an opinionated and passionate talker. They also call me a control freak when organizing a trip or any gathering, going into the smallest of details with plans A,B and even Z - seems like military skills are paying off after all! :) I am devoted and loyal to those who are close to my heart, I believe in fairplay and the ability to understand, accept and forgive human errors and shortcomings, but not cruelty, selfishness and primitivism.

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave, be bold, be free. You only have one life, one body, and one mind, so you better use it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got to know a few amazing people, hopefully will meet many more, inasmuch as possible! :) Currently unable to host, but hopefully this will change in the nearby future.

Interests

The most important thing in my life are the times spent with my beloved ones. I believe that the key to happiness is to develop our own potential on a personal, emotional, spiritual, social and professional level, to have an open mind and an open heart, to be able to accept everyone's differences as well as similarities, to be able to live life with full lungs and to let others live their lives, too. Karate has been a part of my life for several years, however I adore outdoors in general, hiking and visiting beautiful places in nature. I am addicted to books and can't go to sleep without reading. :) I adore animals, cats foremost.

Music, Movies, and Books

History , war and action movies, cartoons like Ice Age and Madagascar, history books, comics that I grew up with (Zagor, Veliki Blek itd.), good old Balkan movies with the unmistakable sense of humor. I love mainstream music, ethno, good Balkan stuff, occasionally zen meditative music, and I am a Eurosong freak! :)Favorite groups/singers: Metallica, Evanescence, Elena Paparizou, Željko Joksimović, Laura Pausini, Euridiki, Sertab Erener, Anna Vissi, Marija Šerifović, George Michael, Kaliopi,...
Books? None better than Gustav Schwab's THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANCIENT TALES! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved a human life. Walked the 60 km march with a 30+ kg backpack and full gear in my army times . Hiked Grand Canyon to the bottom and back up in one day in the worst summer heat (would never repeat this again ). Performed first aid to injured people in 2 road accidents. Smuggled an abandoned cat across the border, and saved 20 stray cats off the streets.

Teach, Learn, Share

Greek mythology and history. Alexander the Great. Bushido - the way of a warrior. Relationships in general. Love. What really matters in this life. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking skills at some point, opinions on many things in life, some self-defense classes, shooting skills, history and Greek myths at any time. ;)
