Roots from Crete, borned and raised in Athens and curently living and studing in Ioannina for the last 4 years. People who don't know me describe me as social, quiet, friendly, maybe shy sometimes. Close friends know that I am crazy (in a good way), it just take some time until I show it :P Depending on my mood, there are times that I am the bigest homecat, and then, there are times I am an adventurer. Althought, I'd say I am quite easygoing , fun to be around and debatable. Always in for a good conversation. My belief is that will strenght and personal effort is what it takes to turn your dreams into reallity. Nothing will ever happen if you don't take action. I admire people who are true, kind and honest, with good sence of humor. People who have their own way of living, live their mark in the world and are passioned about something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my bigest dreams is to take a big trip somewhen, live, work or visit for a short time the countries where I am going. The best way to really know a place is by meeting it's local people and live like them, being more a traveller and less a tourist. Coutsurfing and other similar ways to travel or work away are ideal for that.

As for hosting other travellers, I want to help in any way I can people who share the same passion for travelling. Also, I love meeting people from other countries. If I can't travel somewhere yet, then meeting people is like taking a glanse of their country and their way of living.

Interests

I love everything about arts, music and travelling. Big nature lover too.
I'd love to learn how to play an instrument , be better in writing, drawing, take part in theater plays and so much more.
I appreciate my own time to recharge my batteries as much as I enjoy good company, good laugh, and good food.
Things I can't resist: Breathtaking views, the sun, the sea. Roadtrips and the feeling of the air through my fingers. The smell of coffee (more than coffee itself :P ).
Putting a " :P" after every sentence, I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wouldn't say i'm able to teach something, as far as I haven't mastered anything yet. But I can always share some greek phrases and culture with you or help you practise your english. :) Any other attempt of learning something from me -let's say cooking for example - would be hilarious if not catastrophic :P But yeah, let's burn some crepes together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural exchange. Travel stories. City tours. A beer. Two Beers xD Conversations over everything, from the funniest shit til the deepest wanna-do things. Any outdoor activities, such us hiking or simply hanging out, going to local festivals, conserts and events if intrested.
In general, good company and help with anything you need while travelling. :)
