Overview
About Me
I am still finishing my degree in Athens, and currently I am doing my internship at Fundacao Champalimaud in Lisbon.
I love travelling and i was lucky enough to have a lot of destinations out of my bucket list by 25. The three main reasons I pick a destination to visit is whether I am visiting friends abroad, wanting to explore a place or going to a music festival.
My hobbies include kick boxing, jamming with my friends by playing the bass guitar, theater acting in amateur groups and most recently drum marches.
I also have a special love for literature and I aspire to be a writer someday.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I travel, it's really important to me that I get in touch with the locals, because you can't get a complete picture of a place, unless you meet the ones living there, as well as getting tips to avoid the touristic stuff and get an actual experience out of my visit.
So it's really important to me, that I have the chance to do so, as much as to be able to transfer my knowledge about the places I live in to others.
(It's such a shame that most people that visit Athens, never get to see the real Athens)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watching the northern lights in frozen Iceland at the same year I experiencedd the Sahara desert in burning-hot Morocco.
Two very diverse dreams coming true, that i will never forget.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Really anything!
I have travelled enough to have stories to tell until I get old, my interests are really wide genre-wise, so not having things in common is nearly impossible and most importantly of all, I am a great cook, and I can cook original greek dishes. (Fuck yeah!)
