About Me

I'm Katerina, I come from Athènes, Greece, and I'mcurrently working in Paris. I like learning about other cultures, and knowing better their people. I'm a city lover and I consider myself being a citizen of the world.
I love travelling, reading and writing: always a book in hands, something to thing about in mind. Being vegetarian the last 7 years, I am also interested in defending animal rights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to jump all borders between countries. I believe it's up to us to construct a better world where racism has no place. It's fun and really interesting at the same time to communicate with people from other countries and different backgrounds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences until now are all positive. I've met a lot of wonderful people, with whom I had a great time either when offering a couch or being hosted.

Interests

I love litterature and reading books, studying psychology, travelling and learning new things and foreign laguages! Other interests of mine are, among others, the contemporary history, human rights, psychoanalysis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited Auschwitz in Poland. This experience had a strong impact on me, I cannot forget the place and the feelings I had at that time. I think everyone should visit it, in order to make sure that such events would not happen again.

I can teach you some greek and cooking vegeterian meals! I would like to learn other languages and traditional dances as well.
