About Me

I am currently living in Athens Greece but I am thinking of moving abroad (Netherlands?). I will probably change my line of work (hotel receptionist) and I may also get to study something new.

AMBITION

My current goal is to find a job that's more than just a way to pay the bills. It can be something fun, interesting or educating.

My long term goal is to find a purpose that will be my guide through life, a source of power & motivation.

THOUGHTS

The extent we let our travel experiences shape who we are, is far more important than the number of places we've visited.

The wise egoist knows he can't afford not to truly care about others.

Everyone should get more involved with music. Learn to play an instrument, train your voice to sing, or take dance lessons!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Connecting with locals & other travelers!

Interests

Minimalist living.

The well being of consious creatures.

The lessons of history.

How should we raise the young ones?

How can we know which people deserve to be the leaders who govern us?
