📍Acropolis, Athens

Amateur tourist guide, sharing unique stories about ancient and modern history and Greek culture 🇬🇷

Book🐛 and TEDx speaker, currently working in Technology for over 10 years.

🥁 Last but not least, I enjoy playing drums 🥁

I live close to Acropolis, something that will make it easy for you to go there (you should definitely visit it, I might join too).

Athens is a vibrant city, full of nice vibes and interesting places. I know the best places in Athens for:
🍸 Drinking cocktails with Acropolis view,
🫒 Eat dinner in non-touristic restaurants with delicious local food,
🌅 Chase the Athenian sunset,
🏊‍♂️ Swim in crystal clear water in hidden beaches near Athens
🏛 The best museums for someone who would like to learn more about Greek culture,
🎶 Dance and listen to Greek (or jazz/rock) music,
📚 The best bookstores to buy new or second-hand books!

I am looking forward to connecting and sharing stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people and make friends from all over the world. I love talking and learning about different cultures; there's always something interesting to discover from each interaction. Sharing stories and experiences helps me see the world in new ways.

I also enjoy helping visitors learn more about Greek culture and showing them the best of Athens. Whether it's guiding you through historical sites, recommending local food spots, or sharing Greek traditions, I love sharing my culture with others. Couchsurfing lets me connect with fellow travelers and create great memories together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
My music taste is all over the place! I jam to everything from the intense sounds of NuMetal and the high-energy vibes of Punk Rock to the heartfelt tunes of Greek folklore and the soothing beauty of Classical music. Imagine a playlist where Slipknot, The Ramones, and Beethoven all hang out with Greek bouzouki melodies – that’s my world!

Books:
I'm a total bookworm. I love diving into psychology, philosophy, history, and geography. My bookshelf is packed with adventures and wisdom. Whether it's exploring the human mind, ancient civilizations, or modern theories, I find joy in every page. Books are my way of understanding the world and all its wonders.

Movies:
I’m a sucker for the classics. Titanic and Saving Private Ryan are my top picks. These movies really hit home with their powerful stories and unforgettable scenes. They take you on a journey through different times and emotions, and I love every minute of it.
