Hi, I'm Margarita, from Athens, Greece. After 8 years at a 9 to 5 desk job as a sales engineer life decided I needed a change .. so change came and it was for the best! I have been working in the tourism field for the last 3 summers on the magical island of Santorini, Greece. During winter I return to Athens and try to travel as much as possible. I love meeting people from all over the world and getting to experience different cultures. I'm also a language enthousiast: I speak English & Greek, but my need to communicate drove me to learn to speak German quite well, some Italian, and I understand French and Spanish too (but mostly reply in English). I love learning new words and phrases from the countries I travel to.
Other interests: Sailing! I'm Greek so I guess it's in my blood.
My motto: You can't control the wind but you can adjust your sails.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Truth be told I think it will help keep me on a budget during my travels! But I also appreciate getting to meet locals, and experiencing places with their help!
