About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to take chances...

ABOUT ME

Like many people, i find it very difficult to describe myself. I would be considered as a not very sociable girl with many sensitivities. I like doing things and being active, meeting and getting to know new people -although it is really awkward for me in the beginning.

Apart from that, i am a graduate of Classics in Athens and i'm in search of a job.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your insticts and choose the other path...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted anyone yet due to the lack of time, but i'd love to meet you, drink a cup of greek coffee (frappe)and show you around Athens a bit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Barbara told me about CS and how amazing it is. Although, i was very suspicious in the beginning she finally convinced me to become a member in the CS society:P
I've couchsurfed once in Spain with another friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a member of an archaeological excavation on the island of Kythera.
I toured Sydney all by myself in November 2012.
ERASMUS!

Once i was fooling around with my erasmus friends in Spain late at night. We were sitting on a bench at an empty city square talking. That time, a drunk man came near and started talking to us. We told him everything, where we were from, stories of our lives and the history of Greece. He sat with us and started describing his experiences from travels and people he had met.We spent all night talking outside in the cold. In the end he bought us a coffee and this is how an extremely interesting night ended.
It was extraordinary because never before this event i had spoken to a complete stranger. It was a great experience and made me think many things.
