About Me

I'm a 22-year-old Law Student on a mission to explore the world.
- Addicted to tv-series
- Volunteering in several projects
- Basketball fan
- Even bigger fan of SLOTHS

I'm an open-minded and easy going spirit. Love meeting people from different countries, exploring their wonderful cultures and, of course, cuisines!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Current situation: I live in the suburbs of Athens at my parent's house till I finish Uni, so hosting there is challenging because you know... parents :/ But you don't lose anything to ask, they might be away the days you're interested. You never know!

I did, however, study for a semester in Ljubljana where I lived in a shared flat and we hosted a few couchsurfers. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

I travel a lot -or try to at least- and I'm occasionally in search of a place to stay and cool people to hang out with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Aaaah where to start!

Ok so music is a very complicated thing for me: I used to listen to punk, metal, and goth in high school. Right now I'm listening to a lot of RnB and Indie. Favorite song is Gimme Shelter from the Rolling Stones. I go to Jazz gigs whenever I get the chance and support my death metal friends in their concerts. So.... yeah :P Favorite artist: Childish Gambino HANDS DOWN!

Haven't read as many books as I want to but mostly it has been philosophy and novels. My most recent and favorite is A Little Life from Hanya Yanagihara.

TV-wise I focus on series rather than movies. Oh boy ... How I Met Your Mother, Game Of Thrones, La Casa De Papel, Dark, 13 Reasons Why, Skam, Friends. You name the series, I bet I've watched at least some of it or know what is about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would defo pick my semester abroad as the most amazing thing I've done. Met people from literally every continent, had the most wonderful and problem free shared flat I could ever imagine and traveled to 10 counties (11 if you count Slovenia where my exchange was happening).

If I were to pick one specific thing, it would have to be the time we rented a wooden cabin by the lake in Nuuksio National Park in Finland. The bus dropped us in the middle of nowhere and we had 3 hours till it started getting dark to reach the cabin. We had to walk 7 km with all the bags in our bags surrounded by snow. And the best thing: the cabin we had rented had no electricity, meaning gas lamps, small fireplace to keep us warm, cutting logs with an ax. Toilet was in a small room 10 meters outside the cabin but it was so dark outside and we were scared to death to even walk that far. I may be exaggerating a bit but I think I'll tell my grandchildren about this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a small but essential list of things! Pancakes, Pasta, and Chicken with curry sauce and rice.

Other than that, I'm always down for a good talk. Can share some very interesting philosophical dilemmas, the memes I saved on my phone. I could even offer you a sip of my beer.
