Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC
Music is my passion..I play piano,tamboura(tradiotional stringed organ) and guitar in my free time( the last one is my favourite)
It helps me relax and release all the stess..
My favourite band is Queen,but my music taste depends on the mood that I am in each time ..
---Movies----

What is better than relaxing in your house with your favourite movie and a big bowl of chips?I love watching movies either alone,either with a good company..My favourite director is Tim burton because he knows how to combine black humour and melancholy and the result is always perfect(except dark shadows,eww)
I love also korean movies,my favourite is The Vengeance Trilogy from Park Chan Wook (Old Boy is legendary),european (Pedro almodovar) and every kind of documentary(especialy the ones with historical content.
Some of the films that I liked:
Cinema Paradiso
As good as it gets
Trainspotting
A Beautifull Mind
Babel
21 Gramms

BOOKS
Sophie's World, Jostien Gaarder

POEMS

"The Monogram" , Elytis
"Ithaca" , Kavafis
"As much as you can" Kavafis
"The Chess", Manolis Anagnostakis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a huge step out of my comfort zone and moved out from Greece .. Worth it a million times !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some traditional Greek dances I am familiar with(I am half Cretan and half from Thessaly) .
Some easy songs on guitar to impress your friends..
Greek recipies like pastitsio,mousaka etc..
And of course I can teach you my language or at least some useful words!(Yes,they include swears..)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sausages from the BBQ at the park

A drink at the rooftop of a random skyscrapper.
