About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share and enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I have lived in South Africa during my school years and in Greece since then. I indulge in reading on all topics science and politics and less on literature. No TV in my house! Lots of music from the radio. I do rock climbing, snowboard and enjoy bicycle rides in Athens.

PHILOSOPHY

My life is more complete whenever I share, collaborate and engage with others in all the activities (personal and political) I find myself in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am eagerly waiting for my first surfing experience abroad, since I have been only hosting surfers in Athens. Of course, it has been immensely fun experience so far! But lately, i get copy paste request from a considerable amount of new people in CS. From now on I will not accept if the request is not personal. There is also some idea that CS is an alternative to hotels for some people. that is also a very good reason to decline. Apart from that, which can be easily handled, the experience is amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met interesting people from many countries. It is a wonderfull experience that I can't seem to have enough of. Unfortunately the time with my guests is usually very brief. In most cases I wish I could host them for longer time.
