Hello,travellers of the world! I'm Magda and I'm a full time DIYer :D I live in Athens since 2012 and I love it.
I hope you will like it too-I'll do my best as a hostess at least :) Cheers!

NOTE: Unfortunately, I can't accept any guests on 10-13 March because of other guests in our house and then 18-28 March, because i will be traveling myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The more houses on offer, the more people will be travelling!
Also,international friends. It's a win-win situation :)

Interests

anything to do with art and creation -sewing/drawing/crafting/cooking/architecture ofc/you name it- definately interests me :) Also,the usual, music, movies, walks, talking a looot, volunteering, travelling, camping. My latest discovery is spoken word poetry. I don't write poems myself (yet) but I've found that listening to people reciting their poems is very calming and charming.
And of course whatever else new and exciting comes my way!

Music, Movies, and Books

Just a tiny bit of my favorites would be:
1)Swing music, the Beatles -old is gold-, Pentatonix, Arctic monkeys, C.W.Stoneking, Ella Fitzgerald, indie stuff
2)Everything really, from serious history stuff to silly rom-coms and of course Disney. Just no American Pies,thank you very much.
3)Books, yes, all of them, anytime. Can't really pick favourites here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made chocolate chip pancakes- best day ever!

Teach, Learn, Share

I will gladly offer tips on living in Athens as a student,and generally answer any question i can about Greece and greek culture. I come from Crete, so if you are intersted in local traditions, i'm the one for you!
Also, I'm happy to share everything I know about anything DIY and you'll probably get something handmade from me as well.
I can talk endlessly about movies and series too, if you let me (maybe you shouldn't).
Unfortunatelly, my Uni scedule is pretty busy so I won't always be able to show you around myself. If it is possible though,I'm more than happy to spend time with you :) :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to say I'm good in the kitchen and can cook traditional greek food for you, although you may or may not be taking a risk letting me in there.
I will gladly share information about Greece, and of course anything to do with DIY and architecture :)
