I am a 24 year old guy from Athens, Greece. I studied Fine Arts in Athens, more specifically Sculpture, and now I am continuing my studies, by doing a master The Royal Academy of Arts, in Hague, Netherlands. My personal website where you can see some of the things I am making is this if you want to take a look: http://www.leandrosntolas.com
I am a quiet, easy-going person, who likes to read, listen to music, create and of course travel!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my life and during my trips, I seek to meet interesting people and share with them experiences, thoughts and laughs. Couchsurfing is a way to make this happen, as well as give you the opportunity to live and spend time in a new place, not as a tourist, but from the inside, as a local. This is the way I want to travel and I find it priceless!

Teach, Learn, Share

"When you create, create first for yourself, as if you were the only person to ever see what you are creating. Only then the creation, whatever it may be, will be true to itself and will have the potential to move others."
