CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Most times I'm full of energy, yet I like some lonesome peace too, esp. if I can have it somewhere in nature. I can sing all day, almost the same goes for dancing.. I love to walk around the streets of Athens & esp. to climb up its hills, where air is more & I feel more free. And I like hiking & biking & swimming on our beautiful islands (cooking at the beach is awesome!)
I like speaking language(s), that's more or less what I study, Greek Literature & Linguistics.

I truly enjoy sleeping early under the stars at a silent beach. I wake up next morning and complain about mosquitos though :P

PHILOSOPHY

"Wo aber Gefahr ist, waechst das Rettende auch" (but where there is danger, there grows salvation too) Friedrich Hoelderlin

Imperare sibi maximum imperium est. Seneca
Πλούτος ο της ψυχής πλούτος μόνος εστίν αληθής. Λουκιανός

Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes and go down... down to Tangie town.. cause people down there really like to get it on, get it on..." the Doors :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted by several people in Germany this summer while traveling and I've met several people in Athens for a walk/chat/drink. I recently had my very first CS guest as well!
Apart from that, I try to spread the word and convince my friends to discover the amazing new world of couchsurfing!!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Several really nice people hosted me in Germany & Norway, I've hosted only one till now, but I've met quite a lot of people for a walk or a drink etc. Love it and want to keep going!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rafting is great! Couchsurfing too!

An amazing thing I've *read* is the story of a French couple, who went around the world on bicycles for 14 years. They had a baby on the way too! And they even did volunteer work for a year in refugee/wounded camp in Cambodia during the Cambodia-Vietnamese war.
the book: "Le tour du monde a velo" by Claude & Francoise Herve.
