ABOUT ME

My name in Greek means "a dolphin" which is why new acquaintances usually laugh at my face. People say I'm very sociable, curious and too talkative at times. I am often described as cute and friendly... I'd say mostly childish and when necessary an over-thinking adult. I was born in Paphos, Cyprus and grew up in a tiny isolated village (80 people) on a mountain. Growing up in the village was on the one hand peaceful, safe and quiet but also very lonely. I grew up all alone with no other kids my age around, never had internet connection, computer, TV channels, etc. I studied English Language, Linguistics and Spanish Studies in Lancaster University, England, and did my Msc degree later in Scotland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am only a couch surfer but hopefully when I have my own place I will be able to host others. The experiences gained from every couchsurfing interaction are priceless and I am such a huge fan of the whole idea. People trusting and being trusted by strangers who become your friends for life shortly after you meet them. I love the cultural exchange and I appreciate and value the diversity of people I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted a few times until now and my experiences have been very very positive.

Interests

I love dancing, singing,watching movies, cooking, discovering new musical instruments, camping, archery, crafts,knitting, painting but most of all Photography. I am obsessed with photography, I walk in the streets and all i see is potential photos and frames.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a variety of genres and watch all kinds of movies depending on my mood. I have watched and I'm currently watching sooo many series. Favourite ever would have to be Fringe but I like countless others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Went camping for the first time, I got caught on an old fish hook while swimming, then burned my foot on a gas lamp and even though the day went horribly wrong, I ended up swimming alone at 3 in the morning in the hot sea water with a full moon and no other noise but the waves. Best day ever!
-Missed my flight back home due to a series of unfortunate events and ended up staying on a bench in Manchester. The people I met and the things I saw were worth the trouble. Funniest day of my life!
-I was leaving Scotland for good, I gave a whole bag of coins to a homeless man playing the drums and then he started singing a song about me as I was walking away.
-Camping in the snow. Great experience!

Even though these moments seem normal and ordinary, they will forever stay in my mind as the only times I felt absolutely free,calm and happy. As if i had nowhere to be and no one to report to and all i could do is relax and enjoy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, Greek, basic Spanish and dancing. If you are into photography too, we could go out for photos together. I would like to learn everything about your culture and share little special things about mine. I'm currently in Germany, I speak no German and I'd like it if you could teach me a word or two.
