ABOUT ME

I've grown up in Athens, which happens to be one of the most amazing places I've ever been to. Now I live and work in London. I try to rise above the routine of everyday life and be as optimistic and creative as possible.
I love people..
I love traveling. exploring places,lifes,ideas.
I love art. I love drawing. I love music. I love movies. I love Panathinaikos. I love baggy trousers & sweet smiles..Thats about it

PHILOSOPHY

...but I'm a parasite ,creep and crawl I step into the night,
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too?...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think Couchsurfing is one of the few selfless and true things there are nowadays (it seems that recently some smartasses have been trying to make money from it - never pay them) , so I try to participate by hosting and helping as many people as I can when I have the chance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted, surfed, made friends. Done everything there is to do.

Interests

Painting.
Music. Going to shows.
Books.
Movies.
South Park. Louis CK. Noam Chomsky. Friedrich Nietzsche.
