About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work to live, live the rest

ABOUT ME

I will tolerate most people, have fun with some and be friends with very few, just like anyone else. Shy at first, I usually react quickly to open people. Happy to live simple, close to the sea, happy to earn friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Get up off your couch (and let someone else sleep in it), meet the world, change what you don't like, starting with yourself. Ok, ok, I'll settle for hanging out with cool, relaxed, people doing new and exciting things. Any ideas?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trust, understanding and a couch...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enjoyed most of it and me o few amazing people in the process. Scroll down to the references and see what others have to say.

Interests

This part keeps changing, but some things remain unchanged the last few years and these are my work, music, the sea (swimming, sailing, kayaking, windsurfing...), good food. More ephemeral interests include chess, capoeira, bicycles and motorbikes, juggling... Maybe the next one is round the next bend.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll tell you about it over a beer or some wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving with the sharks in the Red Sea, singletrack bicycle in the Bolivian Andes, ran down Wayna Picchu in Peru, couchsurfed Buenos Aires for a whole month, seen the sunrise over the Uyuni salt flats, wandered around Shibuya, downtown Tokyo at night, climbed Mt.Lempira, Honduras through a cloudforest, camped out in the rainforest in Tikal, Guatemala, spent the night on the peak of mt. Taygetos, kayaked 150 miles in the Greek Archipelago on a sit-on-top, left my comfortable office job and Athens life to be a grower of food.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach 3 and 4-ball juggling and basic diabolo, some guitar and folk greek songs on the guitar and Greek traditional instruments (bouzouki, tzoura, baglama). I can also teach you some basic Greek and Greek cooking and be a free dive buddy.

I want to learn all sorts of things, like dances, instruments, recipes and many more I don`t even know about yet ;)
