Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed 2 times in my whole life, while I was in middle school, with a program my school organized back then. I've been in Nantes, France and also in London. It was very nice, since I saw things really interesting and I also got to meet people with different cultural characteristics. I haven't been able to host many people up to now, but I hosted William, a crazy guy who I met while I was in Portugal! It was a nice experience :)

Interests

My interests are basically around art and music, i am a student in Athens Fine Arts School. I play the accordion and I love hanging with my friends and watching cinema. I like grabbing a beer and talking, going to concerts, reading and drawing comics and making experimental videos (even tho people cannot completely understand them)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of literature, from Bukowski and Bataille to Dostoyevsky, James Joyce and Vladimir Nabokov, Dante, Burroughs, Tom Robbins, whatever! I love literature. I read a lot of poetry too. Sometimes I also write some poetry, tho my writings are weird and maybe childish. David Lynch is one of my favorite directors among others, such as Emir Kusturica, Lars Von Trier, Yorgos Lanthimos, Kar-Wai Wong and Kenneth Anger. I have a wide range of music likings, in general around post punk, alternative rock, indie and rap music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I actually managed to fall in the gap between the train and the platform while drunk, in athens. Not a nice thing to do. Don't laugh too hard please.
