About Me

In the last couple of months people I've met from all around the world decribed me as "intelligente", "possitive", "sunshine" and "funny".
I guess you'll have to figure out for yourself :)

As for me I'm a Food Technology student who loves all sort of arts.
I draw and I sketch and I sing (mostly in my shower) and I danced and I write and I wish I knew how to sculpture and play the saxophone.

According to my mom I "have my mind over my head" because everytime we speak I always tell her about my dreams to travel the world from east to west and from north to south, maybe even twice.

In my free time I listen to music. A lot. And I study and learn languages because I like to communicate. And ,now, I travel. And I read. And I watch as many movies as I can.
I enjoy talking long walks around my city and the places I travel , looking up and exploring the world through volunteering workcamps.

And I think , that's all folks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I have my couchsurfing profile for a long time, I haven't couchsurfed yet and that is due to the fact that I just recently started travelling more regularly.(You'll probably see my profile is "not complete" due to my lack of friends and references but hey I'm getting there, just started so please bear with me !)

Through it I'd love to experience new people, new cultures and mindsets and see new places "with local eyes".

Unfortunately at the moment it's not certain if I can host because I'm living in my mother's house. But I will be more than happy to spend time with anyone who wants to see the hidden treasures of my beloved Thessaloniki ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Now this is the hardest part of all.
My music taste goes from Disney songs to classical music to punk. On top of my list are Pearl Jam!
As for films, I know pretty much every line from "Les Choristes".
And last but certainly not least , books.... The book that comes automatically to my mind when I'm asked about my favorite book is a book by a greek author which title is "Παιδιά του τελευταίου θρανίου" (translation Children of the last desk). The funny/strange thing is I'm not sure it is my favorite, heh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've helped to save little fishes from the drought in the mountains of Italy.
And I got down a gorge where I only fell down once, which is hugeeeeeee for me since I usually fall down a lot!
I survived the German Black Forrest summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm expecting to be practising all the languages I know (obviously :P ).
And in return I can teach you Greek, food recipes(greek & some international), dancing skills, games....
Maybe even share some Greek candy (if I don't devour them on my way there hehe)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My funny animals grimaces/faces.
My music knowlegde (see My Favorite Music, Movies & Books section).
Greek traditional dances and food recipes!
Funny things about language connections....
