About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To delete all negatives from my life and focus on the positive

ABOUT ME

I think therefore I talk. I like to smile and laugh a lot. I'm spontaneous and I'm not good at making plans, where's the fun in that? I enjoy the small things in life and I keep trying new things. I'm a language addict and my goal is to learn Russian and Arabic. Meeting people from different cultures and different parts of the world is really fascinating and interesting, that's why I joined the CS family. Photography is my passion and I love meeting other photographers and learning from them. My camera is my baby but I will let you use it. Group photo is a must, so gather around and wear your best smile :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is much more fun when you are happy!

Negative situations always have the most positive results!

Carpe Diem

Never say never

Rules are meant to be broken

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have hosted only a few people and mostly couchsurfers that I have already met in CS events. I mostly participate in CS events organized around the island.

Interests

I love photography and I really enjoy going on photo trips with friends. I love exploring new places in Cyprus through my lens.
Travelling in countries that I haven't visited yet, my dream is to go to India one day and France
I enjoy reading books either in English or Greek, and hopefully soon in French. Time and The Economist are two of my favorite magazines
Listening to music always relaxes me and I can watch music videos for hours
I love to dance and I always find an excuse to enjoy a clubbing night with friends even when I would have to work in the morning!
Cooking with or for friends
Surfing the net for great photos to observe and interesting articles to read
You can always find me online on facebook either chatting or playing some game
Hiking and camping is something new to me and I really enjoy the experience and would love to do it more often
Hanging out with my friends for a drink or a chat
During summer time I love going to the beach,and especially at night when I can just lie down on the sand, stare at the sky and listen to the waves

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't imagine life without music! I listen to any song with a good rhythm and nice lyrics. My favorite band is Red Hot Chili Peppers and I mostly love listening to rock/soft rock music. I also enjoy pop, latin, greek and arabic music, always depending on my mood, where and who I'm with.I could even listen to the same song for hours.

I mostly read books in English. I generally read girly romantic books because they help me relax and they always have a happy ending! Although my favorite books are Veronica Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho, Beloved by Toni Morrison, Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters and Portrait of a Spy by Daniel Silva

I love watching movies and series. How I Met Your Mother is one of my favorite series and the spanish movie Biutiful is one of the most interesting movies I have watched recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I have done anything amazing..so it's something to look forward in the future!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you a few basic Greek words that would make your life easier while being in Cyprus and people will appreciate the fact that you greet or thank them in their own language.
Teach you a few things about photography.
Give you recipes from our local cuisine which is delicious!
I'm interested in learning about your country, culture, local cuisine or anything interesting that you could teach me!
