About Me

Searching for wisdom.....From the beggining of my adult life I started a spiritual trip through philosophy,different religions and other cultures. My deepest need is to understand human nature and meet people in their real environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people. To understand cultures. To live everywhere like a local.There are so wonderful people all around and we know just a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attending Marina Abramović's 'All One' performance-art piece in Athens

Teach, Learn, Share

"This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond".

— Jellaludin Rumi,
translation by Coleman Barks
