About Me

I am 23 years old and I am from Piraeus, Greece. I have a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Mass Media Studies from University of Athens.
I love travelling and meeting new places and people.

My appreciation for backpacking was established some years ago, when I did Erasmus studies in Lapland University, Finland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling can be an expensive hobby.
Sometimes it is comforting to stay with a loca in a new city or country so as to feel welcomed and safe instead of paying money to spend time in an impersonal space, like a hotel room.
Also, couchsurfing can be a great way to get in touch with people, have some time together and let them show you cultural particularities and things to avoid.

Interests

I am fond of spending time on my own but I also consider it important getting out of my comfort zone and try new things every once in a while.

Cinema is what interests me the most. I also cherish reading books and listening to music.

When I'm travelling, you will most likely catch me having walks around shooting film with my Olympus superzoom camera.
