About Me

CURRENT MISSION

know all world and enjoy all people :D

ABOUT ME

In 2013 I went on Erasmus and it meant a huge change in my life, I woke up and I started my couchsurfing experience. Back then I wrote my profile and I feel that it is still relevant. My jurney is longer and I have more experience but the basics are the same as when I started, so read further if you want to know a little bit more about me.

"I feel like if I have been sleeping my whole life and now suddenly just woke up. I feel that it is just the beginning of my life. I don't want to stop anymore, I don't want to waste my time in front of my computer or just in my little town doing nothing.

Suddenly my head is full of ideas and I can feel the energy in my body just wishing to make them become real. I need some organization and maybe I don't know that much about anything, but it's a beginning and I hope it will be a long way till I get tired. Maybe it is crazy but I feel like changing the world. Maybe just my little world but the feeling exists and that's what is making me move, that's what is making me write this words now.

About me: I'm always trying to be myself and not to let the others change me. I don't like judging or being judged. People have their reasons for be as they are and we don't know anything. We can learn a lot from people who is or think different than we are or do. That's amazing. I'm studding education because I think is the beginning of everything and you have to go to the beginning to change something. I think we are lost with all this money around and we forget about life: Free air, moving around, knowing people, enjoying, singing, dancing... And yes, maybe stop thinking for a while.

I'm not a good a student. I have been always too lazy but anyway I love people explaining me new things. Any kind of knowledge coming from someone who really cares about it is a present that I would never reject.

I love my place, I love my friends and I love my family. I think I will always want to come back there, but first I want to know the whole world and full me with a lot of amazing experiences. I am not a good tourist, I'm not really into museums or touristic places. I prefer knowing people, talking about ordinary days in their life and this way learn how to understand people and yes, maybe, I can understand me better and improve in my weak points. I love walking on the streets of the cities and realize how different are from my own.

I like parting. I love dancing. I'm a really bad singer but I'm a rebel and I do it anyway. I try to enjoy every second of my life and I feel lucky for every experience I have had. The good ones, they are awesome. The bad ones have taught me that much, that they turned into good and I would never change them.

I love smiling and laughing.
I love eating.
I want to learn as many languages as possible.
I always try to flow with what life have ready for me. FLOWING is my philosophy. "

PHILOSOPHY

FLOW

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I was going to my greek class in Cyprus. I was late (I'm always late...) and from the distance I saw a strange (really strange) dog inside a car. I couldn't stop looking at it. The awesome surprise it was when I realized it was not a dog, it was a MONKEY!!! Even more awesome was, when the monkey saw me... And he, as a shy child, went to hide behind his owner, and the owner saw me too and he pointed at me. Then the monkey came and the window went down and I could touch him. I had so many questions and I wanted to do so much... but I couldn't, the light changed to green and the car had to go with the monkey inside.

This is one of the amazing things that have happened to me, but not the only one. For more stories, visit or host me ;)
