Hi!

My name is Nora and I am currently living and volunteering in Athens, Greece! I love tattoos, and art, I write and doodle from time to time...

When I`m somewhere, I make sure that I get to know the local culture and new people. I love sitting in cozy cafes and people-watch while I have fun with friends that I made on the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, to learn about the diversity of the world. I think that if you travel, then it is important to make new friends on the way and experience their world, by that I mean you interact and try to experience the city as they do. I think, that I can point out some things that locals do not see in the environment, as they are so used to the details. Also, it interests me to see how other people live in other cultures and countries, what are your traditions, views, anything! Let`s meet and discover the area! I am also pretty new in Athens so it would be great to discover it together!

Unfortunately, my living conditions do not let me host, but I am up to meeting and exploring <3

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything visual, a play of colors, clash of characters- sort of cinematographic chemistry is more appealing than action, at least lately. I love , apart from this films that hqve obscure plots and colourful, difficult characters, same with books. Although in books, I`m more interested in people, rather than long, Balzac-like descriptive pages. But music is a big part of my life as well, and my taste depends on my mood. Mostly, I listen to rock music but to give you an overview I`ll list some of the most influential musicians and bands here:

Led Zeppelin
Leonard Cohen
The Velvet Underground
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Jeffrey Lewis
Vennaskond (estonian punk)
The Ramones
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not able to host I can give you my listening ear and be a good conversation partner, teach you a little Estonian. Also, I can bake you the best and fluffiest pastries :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook and help in any way I can because for me, CS is not a hotel, it is a nice way to expand your world and a great community to make friends for a lifetime!
